We Are Monsters (2015)

Sadly Over-hyped

Lack of good storyline.

Fantastic!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Emma (Hanna Oldenburg) has come to America from Australia to sign a secret oil deal. She gets kidnapped by Shirley Perkins ( Niki Nordenskjold) a friendly cab driver and delivered to Jim (Ralf Beck) a crazy guy who has discovered he likes to kill things and Pete (Torbjörn Andersson) a necromantic. Things don't look for good for Emma, other than a formula film writer manages to turn this into another rape/revenge film. Oops sorry about the revenge part, I know no one but me saw that coming. Guide: F-bomb, rape, nudity (Hanna Oldenburg-shower, Madeleine Norberg)

Okay, this isn't going to be a gem but for me it did still offer some nasty moments. The story is rather simple, girl being kidnapped and raped, she escapes somehow and is out for revenge. I was surprised that the rating was so low.If you want to see a typical Hollywood blockbuster forget it because it shows that it was a low budget flick. It take a while before things go wrong and it's only once the girl is out for revenge that it becomes a brutal flick and people could get offended by some torturing done by her. Clocking in under 90 minutes makes it worth the trip to see it. As said before, there are moments that will make you grab the remote but the effects are really well done which makes it a delight for the geeks of nasty brutal revenge flicks.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

This is a 'video-nasty'. A woman gets abducted, raped and tortured. She eventually gains control, and fights back. She kills the 'trio of psychopaths' - one at a time of course. The first guy dies in a wood-grinder. The psycho-woman dies from shotgun blast. The third guy gets all sorts of pain inflicted on him. I guess 'we can watch' because its revenge, and so justified (yawn). The penis-hammering scene was fairly well-acted (I think the penis was method-acting). If you like nightmarish torture stuff, this is for you. For the other 99.9% of us fairly mentally normal people, forget you saw the title, and just move on.

Reviewers Notes: 1. Yet another torture porn in the grand tradition of films like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Seen one, seen em all.2. The date stamp says 2015 which is actually the creepiest thing in the movie (among many many creepy things) because the settings, the direction, the cinematography, the script, the acting, all of them scream 1974. Which raises the question, why would anyone want to do a film in 2015 that is completely indistinguishable from similar stuff shot about a half-century ago?? 3. The only other thing worth mentioning is the "tease" scene off the top where the kidnapper/abductor tells his fellow kidnapper/abductor that he wants to try "something different" with the new girl, he wants to make her "love" him. And for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second, the poor viewer (any viewer watching this film is automatically in deep distress, hence the adjective) might think that the producers and writers did this film because they have something new and different to add to the genre. But then the moment quickly passes, and you realize they do not.
