Review of Sick Girl (2006) by Jason D — 30 Sep 2009

The title of this film is spot on. The character Izzy is indeed one very sick girl. On the outside she is a sweet innocence loving little girl, doing her best look after her 9 year old brother. Sadly Izzy is also a perverted killer.

Whose hobbies include Kidnapping, torture, penile amputations, Child murder and urinating on Nuns. What I found interesting is that the makers didn't just focus on wall to wall gore scenes. Izzy is portrayed as almost an anti-heroine.

There are slap dashes of Dark comedy through out. The teacher and his lost rat are of some amusement and lighten the mood. But the laughing soon stops when Izzy goes into psycho mode. The scenes of violence are extremely sadistic and brutal.

They are not shot in a cartoonish way either, making them uncomfortable to watch. Even for a hardened horror/gorno fan like me. I found the ending deeply shocking and disturbing. It's something I'm not going to forget for a while.

This is a very powerful movie.
