CGiii Comment

The first ten minutes will have your stomach doing somersaults...

Wnendt's [tedious] gimmicky direction does nothing to disguise the fact that this film is putrid.

The straightest man would turn gay if he had an encounter with this unhygienic horror...she is without doubt the most vile female character ever writtten/portrayed.

Without a moment of respite, it is a monstrosity.
