The Special

The quality of the production, set, actors, or even dialogue didn't need to be high to tell this story. The plot was simple and elegant. It was never made to win an Oscar for anything, but what it did win was my attention - which it kept all the way to the gory (and fitting) end.👍

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)

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.

It's not your average boy meets box story. It's actually an original and outrageous movie about addiction.
