Dard Divorce (2007 Video)
6/10
Not Half Bad
2 December 2008
After reading some of the reviews here, I was actually scared to approach this movie. I thought I was in store for something in the lines of Irreversible, you know, that movie that disturbed the hell out of you—where the guy gets a fire extinguisher smashed into his face, and the girl gets brutally, and I mean brutally raped for ten minutes in a subway station, and all that jazz. Granted, there is a lot of violence in this film, but come on, they have been pulling innards from corpses since George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Could be I watched an edited cut, could be. Yes, the weird accents of a lot of the players are annoying, but that kind of makes it even creepier, like in Suspiria creepy. I still don't understand how the daughter survived but I'm not going to watch it a second time to figure it out, it doesn't matter. What we have here is not exactly as obscene as the Hong Kong shocker Run and Kill (check that out for cruelty) and more in the lines of a twisted version of Trainspotting or something. I found this much more watchable than all those stupid Saw sequels. And there is even a bit of a twist at the ending, making it much less of the snuff film it has been reported as been.
