      It's nasty, brutal stuff, but it's also unlike anything else out there.

      This psychological horror picture is harrowing and occasionally macabre -- you'll come away wondering what kind of father would cast his daughter in such a sexually brutal film.

      Strangely drab.

      Chicago Reader

      Poorly acted, over-the-top, and generally out-of-control bloodbath.
