Is this entertainment? This is disturbing. I did not feel entertained afterward, just sick and melancholy.
*Spoilers below*
The build up is fun and somewhat realistic for those having traveled on trains in Europe. but then torture, gore, death and murder in a WAREHOUSE seems like NOTHING NEW for this genre except for the level of violence.
Then, around the time when we could enjoy someone escaping the madness, we get a girl committing suicide due to her shame of disfigurement -- and sadder still, it was predictable.
Then the guy escapes but not before the revenge murders in the same torturous fashion. You expect him to kill the guy, knowing this will possibly end the torture club etc. But by showing the violence, you feel he is just like the sick killers. Maybe that's this movie's depressing purpose, to show our « eye for an eye » sense of justice.
I don't want moralizing and certainly don't expect a Disney ending, but this movie focuses on the worst of human nature and I don't recommend it.
