2008 Directed by Ryan Cavalline
Somewhere, in a sleepy rural area, an underground organization is operating. People are being kidnapped, beaten, and tortured beyond comprehension. They are then reprogrammed to succumb to the will of their vile captors for their sick games and sold for the highest price.
As this started out, I thought I was in for something completely different. Maybe a crime or revenge story. The performances were good, the idea was decent and it seemed to be setting up a larger story. This all remained true by the end of the movie, but holy shit was this nasty. I was comfortably watching this, enjoying the setup, and then this "baby" scene happens. Was not at all ready for that.
The setup of this evil underground organisation that pretty much lives to do the most vile things to fellow human beings was shocking. And I loved that Cavalline had a criminal character in this disgusting organisation that was trying to get out, it wasn't just the victims.
There are a lot of surprises in this no hold barred horror film, and there is obvious talent on display in all departments. And a lot of sickness on display too. Yikes!
A very cheesy and shitty made movie. I thought the writing wasn’t too bad and I liked some of the characters. The priest dude was easily the funniest. It feels a little long and the acting is godawful. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you’re into REALLLLY crappy movies.

This was truly something. It's easy to tear this film apart because of its terrible acting and cheesiness, but there were a few things I liked about it. There were some scenes of gore that were really effective and truly disgusting. Nathan, don't ever watch this. It was also paced really well for its short runtime and there were some really cool props. The low-budget, gritty feel was done really well which adds to the aesthetic; it's like one of those films that you would find a VHS of in the bushes or something. Shooting it with a really low-quality camera greatly helped with the vibe. As I said though, the acting does weigh the film down quite a bit, as does the direction at points. But this was a very interesting watch and I hope to see more films like this.
Salo made by bros who were super bored by that film so they made a more epic version by using their main inspirations of the Saw sequels and August Underground.
Pure unfiltered, micro 2000's counter culture at its peak. A gigantic pile of trash you weirdly find yourself appreciating at how tasteless and immature it is.
Grade in terms of enjoyment: B+
Grade overall: D
has some good, gross, very tasteless stuff in it. i could have used more, but i'll take what i'm given and be happy with it..
I don't know where to put this movie. It blew my mind. It turned nasty real quick and did not let up one bit. I can't tell y'all to watch it because it wild, gross, raw, and just plain low budget but hot damn did I watch all of it.
Can't believe what i watched, it was nothing like i was expecting. A no budget exploitation movie which shocked me in both good and bad ways
