The problem is that this slick piece of schlock is dull, risible and, ultimately, boring.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This horror show from Dutch director Tom Six will be heaven for devotees of four-star torture porn and zero-star hell for everyone else.
A film that, in bare description, sounds like the greatest outrage ever put to screen, but ends up being fairly tedious when watched.
There are terrible movies and there are loathsome movies. And then there's that rare breed so idiotic, exploitative and sickening one wishes they could be scrubbed from memory.
It would be nice to report that Six ... has an eye for horrific imagery and a head full of fresh ideas - or, barring all that, that he's simply a hard-working hack. But this is lazy moviemaking based on the thinnest of concepts.
