A Dark, Ugly Nightmare

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2014)

Three stars for excellent acting and good photography.
If you enjoy being immersed in a relentlessly dark, depressing, ugly world of creepy, sick psychopaths and even some "decent people" who descend to extreme violence and torture to achieve their aims - then this movie is for you. Very much in the vein of "Silence of the Lambs."
Full of red herrings and plot elements that are easy to miss or don't quite add up. For just one example, the viewer is expected to very quickly spot and understand a "maze pendant" that reappears in different scenes and plays a major role in the story. I'm an average viewer and missed this both times until reading about in an online plot summary.
Not recommended.
