9 Days (2013)
A dark, twisted retelling of "Dante's Inferno," done in the torture-porn style of "Hostel" and "High Tension." To escape her abusive foster home, headstrong 18-year-old Danielle Hitches a Ride with an affable psycho who calls himself Virgil and has an axe to grind against women based on his warped religious beliefs. She realizes she hasn't quite found her knight in shining armor when she awakens half-naked, chained to a post in Virgil's basement. As Virgil, puts Danielle through a sadistic "moral cleansing" of debauched torture sessions that could kill her at any moment, she must choose either to fight back or to become as inhuman and deranged as Virgil himself. What Virgil doesn't know is that Danielle may be more than up to the challenge of his psychotic head games.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Not an excellent movie it is only alright not too enjoyable the filming looks real old looking. The man in it is totally insane and sick minded but he's not a rapist! A film for a guys night girls won't enjoy because a poor girl gets tortured
For an effort 'crowd funded', this really has to deserve top marks: both direction and acting, latter especially with main new star, Maura Murphy (as kidnapped Danielle), portrayed as a 'suffer* girl, to transcend into a more perfect in God's creation being' by a religious obsessive nut job! (Chris Scheicher as 'Virgil': See quotes sidebar wherein he espouses director / writer (auteur? He edited and produced it, too) Samuel M. JOHNSON's (NOT movie star Jackson!!) excuses cum reasons of its dichotomy all out as.) *i.e presumably / possibly only as edicted / inspired by as St. Paul assessed to reach religious joy - yet which can only / has to be, come by / through - you guessed it - suffering ! Which is uplifting, surely?By which, without wanting to give away too much of the development of this what at first would seem another of those tawdry women in peril stalked and torture porn offerings, and despite its (helpful?!) salacious come on subtitle: 'Whipped, chained and tortured by a psychopath' (! so, not really a 'comedy'!), do stick with it for, for you anti torture porn, pro feminists, may be surprised at the end (á la - plot spoiler alert here=read no further: 'Spit on your grave'*, 'Hostel 2 / sequel', 'Storm Warning', 'Return to Sender' etc. male oppressor come-uppance revenge genre ) And which is particularly so to possibly the true underlying critique intended by this 'the people' (=crowd funded) effort, through the initial introduced thoroughly reprehensible - (inferred) Father (?) - figure (although credited only as 'bastard' - David Alan Graf) - despatched, um 'messily' in a sorta serves him right (well, 'bastard' like, I guess!) hoisted by own petard porn surfing, ah, 'activity'! Which, if not that is the (black humour) - 'comedy'?, then is it also a subtle turnaround on all us audience 'voyeurs', too, having been so enticed to view this? (That salacious 'Whipped, chained and tortured ." COME on, y'know, huh ?) Hmm Plus, ponder that with also a suitably menacing drab, drone-like atmospheric soundtracking throughout from '2Sheep Audio' (as credited in the print), too, this is surely a cult curio in the making. * Although actually, as rather like another in the revenge genre, W. Craven's 'Last House on the Left' was supposedly (notoriously!), incongruously inspired by Bergmann's 'Virgin Spring', it amused me that this has a similar inspirational credit "Inspired by Dante's inferno": as such, miss at your own, er, purgatory!
The saying goes that love means never having to say you are sorry... This is especially true when you are being held in a religious madman's basement with your neck chained to a wooden post.There is not much nice to be said about this. While some of the props are a bit amusing and there is a general attempt to be funny (which helps defuse how truly awful a movie this is) there is no reason to watch this or recommend it to anyone. I feel worse off for having seen it.Everything you need to know you will find out in the first five minutes. Terrible sound recording, terrible sets and a woman who is apparently supposed to be a teenage girl whose father (or stepfather, maybe) is a molester... but she is obviously much, much older and it seems like the man should be her boss.
The movie is based around a Psycho guy named Virgil and a girl Called Danielle whom he has gotten hold of and mostly revolves around a basement.I would not go further into the movie as i think you should view it yourselves,anyways to be honest i was really starting to like the movie and did not want it to end but unfortunately it does just when 9days begins to get interesting.This movie is not for everyone,it might upset some audience due to the lack of content,but still i am not saying its not worth giving it a try after all what more can one expect from a low budget thriller/horror movie.Watch this movie if you are that type of person who thinks anything recorded on a camera is worth watching!
