The Special

In a nutshell: A man is introduced to a whorehouse where he meets a gypsy woman who introduces him to a sexual object that she calls 'The Special'.

This is a low budget movie and it shows. It's like a long episode of one of those classic horror tv-shows. Because of the sexual nature and twisted dual sided ending, it probably wasn't made an episode for one of those series. That leaves movies, so it had to be stretched. It has been written before: The movie could/should have been shorter. Acting really isn't that bad, neither is the script nor screenplay or pace. The overall picture is average but professional, at 3/4 of the movie you start to guess where it is going.

This movie is however a must see because of the twisted plot and how that turns out, and not just for die hard horror fans.

This definitely should be a 45 minute episode of Tales from the Crypt. Not a movie.

I would not consider this horror. Barely a thriller. Maybe a drama with thriller undertones.

The plot is basic, but the general execution and twists are solid.

When someone tells you - you should only do a certain thing once, no matter how good it feels: you should listen. Now it will be quite difficult to identify with the main character here - to be honest, the opposite will likely be the case.

Now onto the ... core of things (no pun intended). You should not be easily offended or disgusted. Otherwise the movie will kind of freak you out - not in a good way. The premise of using ... a hole without much knowledge is something I personally would never do, not even if I was paid a lot of money.

That all being said, the movie reaches its logical yet twist ending in quite the interesting fashion - with blood and other special effects being a big part of that journey. Can you dig it? (quite literally actually)

Vintage TV style horror film. Poor audio, poor sets, poor acting, poor dialog. Too bad because it had a whacky premise that could have been somewhat funny.

The acting was not great, and I was never afraid. A tale of pleasure and addiction, with some twisted fiction. The story could have been told in an hour, but the ending gave the movie some extra power.
