SafeWord

This steamy heap of contrived and pretentious excrement was about as awkward to watch as a baboon humping a football. Five minutes in my spidey sense started tingling. You know that feeling. But instead of just turning it off, I was compelled to see it through after how confusing and uninspired the first bondage scene ended. She didn't even get raped! And the tennis guy who drugged her was never in the rest of the movie, and was replaced by the exact opposite man, physically. I laughed hysterically, feeling as demented as the ridiculous script and lack of plot. The characters constantly contradicted one another, the entire movie was devoid of any continuity, and not once did they ever say what the safe word was! Was it Love? And the half naked groan worthy anti rape campaign message would have even the biggest bull of the dykes vomiting her intestines out. And then I finally saw what killed the movie from the word go, as the credits scrolled, and damn near a bakers dozen writers names flicked across the screen. Oh man. No but seriously you gotta check this out.

Either the cameraman was drunk or they watched the review on a cellphone. I couldn't get past the 10th minute. Camera is shaky, blurry and gave me sea sickness. Had to stop.

This movie is very confusing up until the last 15 minutes where it's explained, and then you become confused yet again as to what's going on and who did what to who. There is brief nudity, and very little slasher to the film. The movie is quite boring to watch.

After the first 5-10 minutes this movie just loses its focus. It probably sounded great on paper but not on screen. It fluctuates between first, second & third person narratives. There really is little in plot so difficult to describe the characters or movie without proving spoilers. The main character seems lost throughout and the viewers will be as well before this movie is over. There is are brief bits of nudity but in no way is this film using it except as incidence. Some gore and violence along with the subject matter makes this not one for the kids. It also is not a slasher film so won't satisfy adults that enjoy that type of thriller. Unfortunately you lose any sympathy for the main character halfway through so my interest was lost.

Sabina wakes up, tied to a table in a garage, and is submitted to torture at the hands of a masked man. She escapes, but soon finds herself in to company of two men and a woman that bring her to a weird, S&M kind of party.

They all believe that she submitted an ad, looking to be the subject of a rape fantasy. She battles her own inner demons as well as the party goers in an attempt to gain her freedom. Did she really want this, or is it a case of mistaken identity?

While this is a definite low budget movie, it is really well done. The actors all do a very convincing job in their rolls. The camera work does leave a bit to be desired and any violence takes place off camera, most likely to keep the special effects budget to a minimum.

Overall, this is a decent phycological thriller.
