Loses its way quickly
Musicianmagic29 May 2017
After the first 5-10 minutes this movie just loses its focus. It probably sounded great on paper but not on screen. It fluctuates between first, second & third person narratives. There really is little in plot so difficult to describe the characters or movie without proving spoilers. The main character seems lost throughout and the viewers will be as well before this movie is over. There is are brief bits of nudity but in no way is this film using it except as incidence. Some gore and violence along with the subject matter makes this not one for the kids. It also is not a slasher film so won't satisfy adults that enjoy that type of thriller. Unfortunately you lose any sympathy for the main character halfway through so my interest was lost.

SAY IT

Warning: Spoilers
This film is another S&M film hoping to ride on the popularity of "50 Shades." Sabina (Stephanie Edmonds) is kidnapped, stripped, and abused (but not raped). The title lets you know it is some kind of play acting. In the film there are flashbacks to her being kidnapped as well as a discussion with a doctor (Chris Soth). Sabina seeks out abusive relationships because of what happened to her. The question becomes is this the incident or the cure?

The acting, dialogue, and plot was fairly boring.

Confusing
photoshawna21 August 2018
This movie is very confusing up until the last 15 minutes where it's explained, and then you become confused yet again as to what's going on and who did what to who. There is brief nudity, and very little slasher to the film. The movie is quite boring to watch.

Bunch of schlock jibberish
RealisticCritic17 March 2022
This could have been a good movie. But it turned into one of the biggest wastes of time. Started out promising, then devolved into a steaming pile of convoluted bs.

Don't bother. Not worth it whatsoever, except for the nudity of the two main females. Might as well just Google the cast and check out the pics. Will save you plenty of time and headache.

Just the worst.... so bad. I mean, wow.
cvgrier23 November 2019
This steamy heap of contrived and pretentious excrement was about as awkward to watch as a baboon humping a football. Five minutes in my spidey sense started tingling. You know that feeling. But instead of just turning it off, I was compelled to see it through after how confusing and uninspired the first bondage scene ended. She didn't even get raped! And the tennis guy who drugged her was never in the rest of the movie, and was replaced by the exact opposite man, physically. I laughed hysterically, feeling as demented as the ridiculous script and lack of plot. The characters constantly contradicted one another, the entire movie was devoid of any continuity, and not once did they ever say what the safe word was! Was it Love? And the half naked groan worthy anti rape campaign message would have even the biggest bull of the dykes vomiting her intestines out. And then I finally saw what killed the movie from the word go, as the credits scrolled, and damn near a bakers dozen writers names flicked across the screen. Oh man. No but seriously you gotta check this out.

Highchool project?
ironscity-785417 October 2018
Either the cameraman was drunk or they watched the review on a cellphone. I couldn't get past the 10th minute. Camera is shaky, blurry and gave me sea sickness. Had to stop.

An unusual thriller
acedj4 January 2023
Sabina wakes up, tied to a table in a garage, and is submitted to torture at the hands of a masked man. She escapes, but soon finds herself in to company of two men and a woman that bring her to a weird, S&M kind of party.

They all believe that she submitted an ad, looking to be the subject of a rape fantasy. She battles her own inner demons as well as the party goers in an attempt to gain her freedom. Did she really want this, or is it a case of mistaken identity?

While this is a definite low budget movie, it is really well done. The actors all do a very convincing job in their rolls. The camera work does leave a bit to be desired and any violence takes place off camera, most likely to keep the special effects budget to a minimum.

Overall, this is a decent phycological thriller.
