Reise nach Agatis

It is no surprise that this movie was made on a shoestring budget. They clearly did not have to pay for anything. The entire story is detailed in the IMDB write up. How that could take 73 minutes is the real mystery. The acting is awful, the pacing is slower than a snail and the editor and/or director must have thought that very short choppy clips would make the film seem interesting. It just leaves a feeling that this was made by amateurs with no clue how to make a coherent movie. There is zero character development, nor any background as to why the couple does what it does. Many shots have nothing to do with the story that is being portrayed which does nothing but add more dull time to the finished product. There might be 15 minutes of actual story and the rest is filler. I have seen worse low budget movies, but none as boring.

Improvisation. Handheld camera. Natural light. Made in three days. Nerve-wracking. Characters that get under your skin. Extreme. Intense. Lyrical and violent at the same time. The aesthetics of a MiniDV camera. Pure evil vs innocence. Heartbreaking. A filmmaker who dares to be unconventional. Anti-Hollywood. Unique.

Bad script, bad acting, unnecessary zoom-ins, pointless scenes with unrelated music on top(scenes where you watch the sea waves), no depth in the characters... Not worth your time.

First off, since this is a Marina Dora film, i was expecting a gorefest, since i know of this man's work. I have seen Melancholy Der Engel and Cannibal. Cannibal was kind of watchable, and Melancholy Der Engel was just a 2-hour shocker, that's only good at that. This movie is mind-bending tame when thinking of the director Marian Dora. Melancholy Der Engel is a top-class film compared to this thing.

The main problem with this movie is the fact that 50 percent of this movie is water scenes. You could of cut this movie in half, and we'd have a better movie. But no, no for whatever reason we decided to have this movie dragged to 1 hour when it could of been like 20-30 minutes honestly.

This is another one of these torture films, except this one is the tamest i have ever seen. What torture? They do nothing during the whole film, and then in the ending they let her "free" just to kill her. There's no gore, or shock or anything of value in this movie, except the ending. The last 10 minutes is the only part of this whole movie that's "disturbing", but even that hits late because you had me beg for this movie to end.

What plot We got a douchebag couple buying a prostitute, and then killing and torturing her in the middle of nowhere. There's a movie that actually kinda has the same idea a murder fest on a boat, and that movie is Triangle, and that thing is 100 times better than this thing ever will be. Why? Because we got characters you can care for, and people actually put an effort into a good story. Here you do not care about anyone. I did not care about the prostitute or the douchebag couple.

I would repeat the Vomit Gore films and the August Underground films than ever watch this thing ever again. When i saw that the director of this was Marian Dora, i was hoping for it to be in the same boat as Cannibal, but no.

Want good Torture films? Go watch Martyrs, Hostel, Guinea Pig (Part One), The Butcher, Grotesque, and Her Name Was Torment.

Warning! A movie with extremely graphic content.

This movie was shot in a total of 3 days. Yet it delivers a full shocking thriller experience with high artistic value. It's unbelievable! Therefore the director Marian Dora should be called a genius.
