Featured reviews
A tight little flick with lots of quirky details to keep you entertained. Story, of course, may seem a bit far-fetched, but that's the fun in movies like these. The cast performed their roles well, especially the actor who played the doctor. Very creepy!
This is a must see film for people who enjoy "off the wall" thrillers. The movie filled with slightly predictable, but truly amazing plot twists. Every character is memorable in this maniac driven film. I think a sequel should be considered. Rest in Peace Justin Pierce.
I was fascinated by the subtitle on the cover "Ultra-violent stylish thriller" but in reality it was actually more a sad comedy than a thriller. The story begins with two friends who owe money and decide to blackmail a psychotic doctor for having crude sex, which they have on tape and it ends up with him blackmailing them.The movie contains scenes of rape and not for the faint-hearted. I would only recommend this movie to those who enjoy this kind of black humor, but by me if you wanted to watch an Independent movie Pi, or The Man Who Wasn't There would be a much better choice.

"Blackmail" has driven me to break my IMDb duck. I am usually in broad agreement with the overall scores, if not the individual reviews of the members of this august body. But it has to said folks. An average score of 4.1 is just wrong, Wrong, WRONG.
I was not looking forward to watching this - the cover text was a deterrent and, as others have said, after 5 minutes my finger was hovering over the stop button.
Then I got it - it's all tongue in cheek - a challenge to see how many cliches can be stretched to the furthest (inc goriest & sickest) possible extent and crammed into 86 minutes, overlaid with thick dollop (sorry to be technical!) of black humour. It's the obvious thing to do with a low budget movie, and it works wonderfully. I squirmed at the gore, and laughed as each cliche approached and was played out with hilarious familiarity. It even has a fabled "boot shot". I hope the cast had an absolute riot making it.
If you're into very black comedy, take out your brain and watch this.
A 7 for setting its stall out and executing it (geddit!) in a far classier manner than it suggests on the tin.
And you'll never look at a briar pipe the same again. Guaranteed.

I saw this film about a month ago, and I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The reason I seen it in the first place was because I found out that Justin Pierce (R.I.P) was in it, and I haven't seen any of his other films apart from Kids, and Next Friday. And as usual he gave a great performance, and so did the rest of the cast.
The story wasn't particularly good but the way the cast acted they made the film watchable. So I would suggest if you want a film that is fun and not to be taken that seriously, than choose this you might even like it.
