1.0 out of 5 stars Another bad one from Lommel, June 13, 2008

By 

NoWireHangers (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dungeon Girl (DVD)

This supposed horror movie tries to be an artsy psychological horror drama but fails miserably. It's about a young woman who has been abandoned by everyone and is now held in a basement by some man. That's all plot there is except for some flashback sequences of her childhood. The movie relies heavily one first person narration and the pace is extremely slow and nothing much happens in the movie. The sound and picturequality is as bad as Lommel's other recent movies, that is about as cheap as it gets. The soundtrack combines random noises and annoying piano music.

Dungeon Girl doesn't work as a drama nor as a horror movie. It's just plain bad and doesn't deserve your time or money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Thought-Provoking, Unexpected Film, May 22, 2008

Tom Hunter "Author of "The Butcher of Len... (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dungeon Girl (DVD)

Though it was not what I expected, this movie was extremely effective

in my mind. The story was full of understated sexual tension. Also, in

several aspects it worked against type. You would expect that a girl

who had been abducted would hate her abductor but in this case I found

it fascinating how she in fact liked him and needed him. It was the

Stockholm Syndrome of course but the way the two main characters just

often engaged in a staring match was curiously effective (unless you

have the attention span of a gnat) if you paid attention. The

entire relationship between the captor and captive was fascinating. It

did not follow type. It presented complex characters.

The most salient point is that the man does NOT rape the girl. Though

he clearly is heavily sexed and a total wanker, he never apparently

touches the girl. (The original for this movie, Natascha Kampusch, was

raped.)

"Dungeon Girl" does in the end have some elements of repetition that

don't seem effective but they can easily be ignored if the viewer is

unbiased.

1.0 out of 5 stars Because Amazon Forces You To Provide A Star, October 5, 2011

MadMacs (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews

Twenty word minimum. Okay.

Student film gone awry and the best argument against giving them digital cameras and desktop editing software. At least in the past the prohibitive cost of film and the accompanying production prevented this kind of junk from being produced and mass marketed. Not all progress can be defined as bettering our condition.

Pointless, superficial, idiotic, completely and utterly worthless.

You're better off throwing your money out the car window, at least that'll make someone happy.

An update of the current grading scale needs to include half-stars and the all-important Zero.

This steaming pile = zero.
