A good idea that is poorly executed in yet another attempt to recapture the “Saw” experience.  Without giving anything away let me say that a lot of the story does not seem at all plausible in a real-life scenario, especially for a horror movie that was attempting to be more “realistic” than others.  Horror porn lovers will be more interested in this one, while others will just find it sick and pointless.

Note:  Do not get too excited over the alternate ending, it might as well be a joke.

Horrorfest Administrator Review
Good story keeps you well entertained throughout.  Nothing extremely original, just executed quite well.  Much easier to follow than the original film “A Tale of Two Sisters.”
