Experiment in Torture

2007 · 80 min

A grim, claustrophobic descent into sadistic cruelty that lingers on suffering and offers little relief.

Tagline
Every Artist Has His Own Technique
Overview
Lured by the smell of easy money, beautiful, exotic dancers agree to spend the weekend at the remote mountain getaway of a wealthy voyeur. Once there, the girls are drugged, tied up and slowly tortured to death with everything from a blowtorch to an electric drill by a killer who uses their bodies as a canvas for his sadistic, twisted art.
