Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey.

The biggest weakness here is that the story doesn't seem to have much of a point. In one way, it's kind of a standard home invasion movie. It opens with a man entering a couple's home, tying the husband up and throwing him in the bathtub, and then torturing and humiliating him throughout the weekend that follows. As for the wife? Well, she gets tied up and there's some eroticism involved in his plans for her - a lot of touching, leading to fear and humiliation, but not much more. Really, the intruder's plan for the wife isn't made all that clear. Essentially, the intruder seems to want to play house with her, for lack of any better way of putting it. So, what was the point to this? Was there a point? I honestly finished this not being sure about the answer to either question.

Admittedly, the story has an uneasy attraction for the viewer. It's almost voyeuristic in a lot of uncomfortable ways. As the movie progresses we learn a lot about Alison and Tom (the unfortunate couple) but very little about Aaron - the intruder - until the last scene of the movie, which at least explains how he managed to break into their house, and shows him to be compulsive in his behaviour. Alison and Tom are revealed to be an unhappy couple with a lot of problems in their marriage. Aaron's motivation - aside from being one sick puppy - is never really made clear. (And maybe it's just that he is one sick puppy.)

It's not a bad movie. It actually succeeds in being a movie that both repels the viewer and attracts the viewer often at the same time. But it isn't a great movie, either. And if you can't handle a few scenes of torture (that are never particularly graphic, but that are nevertheless made very clear) then you should probably avoid this like the plague. (6/10)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It had me hooked from start to finish. The way she was tied up at the beginning of the film made us squirm but we were hooked. I'm not a fan of torture films but for some reason I had to watch this one after scrolling through with my husband. The acting was brilliant by all and it had a twist at the end. Compelling, daunting and harrowing.

Well worth watching. My husband enjoyed it too but I hope he doesn't get any ideas haha.

It was a low budget film I guess but it didn't matter as the acting was amazing and everyone involved in the making of the film gets did a fantastic job.

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..

Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey. With a title like that I should have see it coming. But nevertheless I still watched the movie. My bad though, because honestly there are tons of better movies then this one. It starts promising, where you have the feeling it might become a good thriller, but piece by piece as the story unfolds you realize you're going nowhere with this story. It's just an unrealistic and quite boring movie. The actors are not that bad, neither are they future Oscar winners, but with a story like that you can't just have a good movie. It's just impossible. I think they tries to create some sexual tension, but it's just a failure. The end is also a completely letdown. Too ridiculous for words in fact. I wished I didn't waste my time with this one.
