ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

WatchedAllMovies There are several unrelated stories in this "little deaths" movie. However, there is a common theme: bloody gross, and that seems to be the only trick in this movie.Since there is very little story and no continuity from one story to another, you might as well surf the web for gross photos.After watching two stories, I stopped. The plot gets thinner. I like scary movie, but these are not scary; they are just exercises in gross makeup effects. I believe this genre is started by the movie Saw.Since I did not finish watching the DVD, I may be missing some brilliant finale, but probably not.I borrowed the DVD from a local library. I hope nobody pays to see this.

Bestia Interior I heard it had some BDSM elements, so, I figured I'd give it a shot. I really shouldn't have. A complete waste of potential. And worse than that, actually offensive in it's "unsophistication".For example, the first story sets up this couple. They have a really dark dynamic going on. In order to please her, he kidnaps women for her to use. He doesn't "really" want to do it, but he loves her, he wants her, and so he does this for her. You get to take a look into something twisted, and into something broken, into something really dark. How he selects and charms the homeless girl, and how they play their parts as she's at their place. It had the potential to intimately explore the minds of human predators.And so far, the writer was spot on. So far, this was authentic. It was scary because it was real. And I think that, in the end, it had to come out of the writer. He was aware of this darkness inside him. He put it on paper, and then on screen. But then, after he got this far, he basically apologizes for it. "I'm sorry that I showed this, here, let me make it up. Let me take it all back. Actually, the homeless girl is a monster that eats human flesh and tortures them now That makes it alright, right?" No, it doesn't. It makes it worthless. You had the chance to make a point, and you wasted it by running away from it. And doing so in an incredibly "unsophisticated" way. And you did the same exact thing in the third story. I didn't really watch the second one. So I can't comment on it.The "good guy" in the third story absolutely horrified me. But not in the way it was intended. I was horrified there was a person who could write someone like that. He was in an unfair relationship by his own choice. And then he decides it's not for him anymore. And he can leave at any time. But he doesn't. He stays. And he pretends. And he lies. And he manipulates. And he has his girlfriend then raped by dogs, dogs being the thing she has a paralyzing fear of.That is NOT a good guy. That is the ACTUAL monster here. Not the girl who gave him spankings and what not, which he agreed to in the first place. Just because the girl does A doesn't make it OK for the guy to do B, and after your protagonist has someone RAPED BY DOGS you're not allowed to portray him as a hero that overcame some kind of odds. He overcame a weak, little, scared woman. Kudos to him.The kindest interpretation of that would be "blaming the victim" behavior. The words that came from my mouth when I saw it though were more along the lines of "despicable". I don't find the character despicable. I found how he was written, how his motivations and actions were justified to be despicable.Again, you had a perfectly excellent chance to make a point, in this case about power exchange relationships, and how they can be dehumanizing, and increasingly heartless. And again, it was authentic, it was real, until you decided to take it all back as if to apologize for showing what you had so far in the first place.With some conviction and follow through the creator of this might actually create something worthwhile down the road. This though is not that.

michael_a_manor We live in a bizarre world where flesh and fantasy blur the lines of reality and acceptable behavior. The dance of Eros and Thanatos being omnipresent throughout this film culminating in appropriately designated Little Deaths - le petite morte - contextualizes three effective stories. The scariest aspect of this film is that any of the stories could happen.You know the people. They live down the street, around the block, or perhaps even across the hall. The film's dark and somber cast is perfect. It brings you down from any giddiness that might result from an all too common torture porn treatment of the subject matter like Saw or Hostel. This film seduces you. You find yourself increasingly conflicted as pleasure crosses over with pain. But before you consider this an homage to safe, sane, consensual fetish gone horribly wrong, each story is firmly enough rooted in the world of the sociopath to reassure you that your well-honed moral skills would prevent you from dallying beyond the bounds...maybe. Sit back. Enjoy. Cuddle up close with a loved one but not too close. It might give your significant other ideas too.

declanio I've always liked horror compendiums going back to the glory days of Vault of Horror or even Dr Terror's House of Horrors, so I snapped this up when I saw it.I'd never heard of this before and presumed it was some low-budget American movie but it's actually British.Unlike the aforementioned movies, there doesn't seem to be any connection between the three stories. Well other than that they are loaded with sex and gore.People in posts I've read seem to dislike the first two stories.The first is basically *spoilers I guess as I'm about to discuss the storyline* about a twisted posh couple who get their kicks drugging and abusing homeless girls.The ending is pretty left-field but what made it for me was the nasty, aggressive wife.The actress clearly relished the part and she was a joy to watch.And I think that's a point I should make - the acting throughout is pretty impressive without exception. And that really is saying something.Especially as the only guy I recognised was an actor in the second story, which is a genuinely bizarre tale, where it's never entirely clear what's going on. And I mean that in a positive way - it's genuinely unsettling.The third tale - Bitch - has dark s and m-y themes running through it - come to think of it all three tales have people being tied up.Anyway, don't want to give anything else away.Check this out - it's an undiscovered treat.
