Gore porn horror following the same template from the
Saw films.
American backpackers are lured to a Slovakian torture
factory where other tourists pay handsomely for the opportunity to slice people up with flesh-ripping power tools.
Director Eli Roth could almost have got away with this
being a satirically-gilded horror movie about crass, xenophobic Americans with no respect for another country's culture getting their just desserts, but unfortunately he opened his mouth
and said it's just an excuse to see big tits and lots of bloody violence. What a douchebag!
