Very bleak movie indeed! I saw a few horror movie fans leave the theater because they just could not bear the abuse anymore. You could hear people in the room gasping at some scenes as well. Really liked it for my part, but true, its a deeply disturbing movie even for people used to nasty movies.
There is just no fun in these torture scenes as opposed to most other flicks that take the same angle, its just too grim and psychologically harsh. I rarely discuss the psychology or the story of a movie of this kind after seing it (who cares anyways), but this time we all did. A very cold, intelligent, thought-provoking piece. I highly recommend it as well, but this clearly is not a movie for everyone, even hardcore horror fans!

Pretty shocking as well, once you learn the motive behind the actions of this "circle". Doing all this just out of some quest for "illumination"? Wow.
