WTF LOL
Never a million years would I have thought
Justin Timberlake's SNL skit...D**K IN A BOX
would be a horror movie... LOL.
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.
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 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.👍
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.
