Review of Dogtooth (2009) by Sami V — 24 Feb 2014
I'll give it a star for pushing the envelope and some of the cleverness in the control the "parents" have, such as naming household objects after things they did not want to expose their children to, i.
E. "Can you pass me the telephone?" a.k.a salt, but if this film belongs in any category: it's horror. Forget the typical gore and slash, this film gives you a claustrophobic style walk through on brainwashing, mind-control and a front row seat to the most basal and disgusting possibilities of human behavior: molestation and incest.
Although there was not a single chainsaw in the whole film, I covered my eyes and dared to fast forward through most of it. A painful experience.
