Score: 4/10
A widower film producer auditions young women both for a feature film and in hopes to find a new wife. Unfortunately, the perfect candidate may not be who she seems.
I chose to blog an entry for this movie in hopes that one day we will get some readers, and I can have a discussion with somebody about it. I don't get it. At all. I don't fully understand what is happening in the movie, and I don't get why this film is held in such high esteem and garnished so much praise.
During the nearly two-hour run time, NOTHING happens for an hour, then half an hour of the guy playing Columbo, then fifteen minutes of bizarre torture porn.
Actually, that's it! The torture porn aspect. This film came out 5 years before Saw, and hence all the "so unique, so different" buzz about the film I heard when it first came out. So maybe I am late to the party and would have appreciated it had I not waited so lont to watch it, but after 7 Saw films, 2 Hostel flicks and countless others, I am so over that subgenre.
