It's perhaps asking a bit much to read it as anything more than a claustrophobic portrait of sexual danger, but it still fulfils that highly specific brief with blood-splashed gusto.

A voluptuous wallow in recycled psychosexual kitsch.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Fresh
A bravura exploration of fear and desire, a visual tour de force composed of cropped images, strobe cuts, bizarre psychological twists and a steamy sensuality.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
There used to be a climate for dares like this; let's re-create it.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

The pleasures of this gorgeous, clever, and visceral film are almost exclusively aesthetic. Those unmoved or alienated by the porn of pain may be left flopping as nervelessly as one of the movie's severed limbs.
