Dungeon Girl (2008)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

An Exercise In Nonsense

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

..Then DO NOT watch this movie. I was seriously disappointed in this, even though I had no expectations. It seemed to me as an 81 minute long intro to what looked like a really boring documentary. The narration voice was weak as probably intended, but it really got on my nerves after 3 minutes. You are asked so many questions by the narrator, but you NEVER seem to find the answer in this film.The cover claimed to have based this movie on a true story: the story of Natascha Kampusch. The only similarities are the captivity for 8 years and the hints of Stockholm syndrome.Basically, you get 81 minutes of recurring clips of the captivator masturbating using a doll, playing guitar, watching Christian TV, reading and cooking. Our main character sits still most of the time, looking like she is seriously ill, even though we learn that she 'loves' her captivator.All I can say about this movie, besides what's already been said is, that the acting and chemistry was extremely bad, camera, graphics and everything you see is not beautiful, artistic or raw in any way, but the 'just filmed it with that cam I bought in the supermarket'-way.I warn you, this movie will drive you even more nuts than the main character already is.

...was what we thought. Unfortunately, we checked IMDb after my wife and I paid for this movie on pay-per-view and started watching it.Well, we found out how you could all be so negative.I, although not so much my wife, enjoy "bad" movies sometimes - for example, "bad" science fiction movies with laughable plots, laughable monsters/villains/viruses/aliens/etc - I believe they are bad on purpose to make them enjoyably laughable.But this disaster has nothing to laugh about. The only joy you will realize is either when you turn it off or when it is mercifully over.Do not waste your time.

I concur with the previous posters review of this movie. It's stupid.The acting is wooden and plain horrible. The girl in the movie isn't the one narrating, and the narrating is plain awful. The girl is a cutie, but for those hoping she is the nudity part, forget it. Plenty of the guy's naked butt though. The sexual part? The guy having sex with a doll. The movie has no worthwhile or retainable content what so ever. It's basically someone's home movie. A good idea, but needs work. A LOT of work. Like start over completely. It's that bad. The plot is a good idea, where you have a kidnapping and then the girl becomes attached somewhat to her abductor, and then how she attains her freedom as well as the relationship between the two. But this movie is mostly two people walking around and weird close ups and then some girl narrating (poorly) over the top of it all. The laughable part is when the guy is watching the television news. You can see how he is just watching probably a computer monitor or some LCD screen type display (Not even available when the kidnapping allegedly takes place) and then they photoshopped a fake news broadcast onto the screen.

What's the best way to end a nice girls's evening with nice dinner and wine? A great movie, right? Yes. But this doesn't qualify - at all.We were tricked by the cover - what has been said earlier is so very true. It looks to be interesting, if not all that great or innovating, but doesn't even live up to that. I'm quite sure that this movie wouldn't even had passed any sort of exam in a director's academy, at all. Basically, they've hired a retarded American porn star model to do bad voice over bits over the same frames of an equally retarded German porn star with a fetish for dolls and horrible German singing over and over and OVER again.The entire 'are you a witch' part had so much potential, and actually had my friend and I going for the first 10 seconds or so, but then just becomes tiresome and repetitive, except for the part where anything interesting happens: you get to see a blond girl's tits. Seriously, that's the only interesting part of it - right up until the part where the frame is repeated for the fifth time...I am so fricking proud of my friend and I that we even sat through the entire thing. We've really tested our patience.I'm going back to the video place tomorrow and telling them to watch the movie themselves - then they won't be able to even consider continuing to charge people to see it.
