The motion picture is grim and lugubrious. The cheap visuals bring to mind the simplistic manner of directing Lucio Fulci had, specially in the film "The New York Ripper". Very "Dogme" like.
The slow pace in which we are sent is very chilling. With the omnipresent screams, the methodical movements by the camera and the physical acting of the players is quite nicely studied. And the ominous tranquility portrayed by the lead actor is one of intense madness.
The lack of music makes for much of the terror. And its orchestration is very powerful with this detail.
This film is and makes us see that a script is very important for the building of a motion picture. The lack of inner thoughts and psychological views of the film makes the making of the story very bleak and empty. It has a somewhat potential for a deep social study. But director Denis Heroux, desperately tries to make a link with the understanding of this lunatic actions and a strongly misogynic and fiercely sadistic society.
Unfortunately, this effect is poorly recreated.
I believe that the film is a mere display of deeply shocking, graphic, and realistic violence and more precisely, disturbing insanity. (which should be taken under consideration for sensitive viewers).
But with no continuity and no obvious sense.
Too bad...
