Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey.

The story is dull and doesn't make any sense. There is no suspense and characters make absolutely no sense

I started watching this with the expectation of being creeped out and disgusted by one character and by the end of it my whole perception had changed. Definitely some very sexually and emotionally intense moments. Overall a really good watch.

It's a long and drawn out film, with a "torture porn" feel to it, whilst trying not to look like a soft BDSM clip. Nothing in this movie is really interesting. The characters are boring, the villain is boring, the plot is also predictable. Free on Prime, because i wouldn't go out of my way to rent this film. Little is done with sets and scenery. It could have been filmed on an iPhone. Elements of Munchausen syndrome mixed with sadism, you would be better off finding something else to do with you 90 minutes. Seems to appeal to ppl into japanese bondage and stress positions. This film is a pass..

Haneke would have a field day with this. He actually already had one - it's called Funny Games. Either the original version or the remake will do. And while this adds "eroticism" and bondage to the mix, it just never works. The movie is out to shock and tell a story about a bad man, trying to send mixed messages too. Shouldn't you obey if someone holds you hostage? Should go with the flow? All this could be interesting things to explore and if you're being nice to the movie, you sort of see them in this too.

Those are just a few of the things that could make this even more uneasy to watch! As if the torture and the general humiliation wasn't enough you might ask - the problem with that is that it just never actually makes a point in the end. Especially the ending which sort of alienates the viewer even more (Freedom can be different things and there are layers to that too, none of them explored here, not to mention the reveal and explaining it does with the very last seconds of its running time ... unnecessary)

Interesting title and cover print. Mature content and dark scenes. A couple gets a visit from a stranger/friend, and things don't go well for them. Film is mostly shot from inside a home moving from the living room/kitchen to the bathroom. Cast are fairly new to me as someone watching this in 2025 and is only seen what has been shared mainstream. Stranger plays a twisted games with the couple and pitting them against each other at one point and testing their loyalty to each other. They bear challenging moments and see each other in vulnerable positions. Recommend this to 25 years or older due to mature content. Contains drama, relationship struggles, infidelity and punishment.
