Six young college hopefuls vacationing and partying in Lithuania get more than they bargained for when they unwittingly get caught up in a maniacal tattoo artist's fiendish side business.

Reviews

Six American students are vacationing in Vilnius, Lithuania because...they are. Brock (Ben Whalen) meets up with Uta (Sara Fabel) an aggressive hottie with plenty of tattoos. Uta invites Brock back to a tattoo parlor for sex, while Amy (Tiffany DeMarco) tags along to get a tattoo from a famous artist...who also looks like a vampire.The film quickly builds in a unique parlor of pain, suffering, and family tradition.This is close to an 80's style of film down to the sound track. Sara Fabel and Robert LaSardo did well in the villain role. Film also contains an often used twist, but hey, it needed something else.Good film for those that like carnage, tattoos and topless women.Guide: F-bomb, sex, ample nudity. Blood and torture.

While partying in a Lithuanian club, a group of friends' visit to a renown tattoo parlor causes them to stumble upon the deranged owner and assistant who are using them to perfect new methods of tattooing and must save them before it's too late.Overall this one here was quite impressive and really had a lot to like about it. As with the majority of these style films, this one really gets quite a lot to like here when it's delving into the torture of the group-members, which are some of the film's best parts here. The opening ambush at the club is a lot of fun effectively showing the group out at the club and how it all starts segueing rather nicely into the first torture sequence where they begin the process quite earlier in the film than expected. The slow dismembering and flaying of the body makes for quite a chilling scene as the process becomes more and more explicit while the graphic cutting continues on. Once he turns back to her and begins going after her, this is a little more chilling with the way it goes for the psychological tormenting of her before the actual torturing begins. The scenes with the rest of the captured friends makes for more good times as the depravity matches the cruelty and bloodshed quite well, carving into the naked bodies with abandon and making sure that the deep cuts bring forth gushing wounds that makes for a wholly impressive sequence, while the big finale makes for more great fun as there's the multitude of brawling and escape attempts, the chase through the streets and finally getting the whole thing settled nicely with the shocking double-turn which comes off rather unexpectedly. Coupled all together with the intimidating main villain and a healthy serving of appreciated nudity from those well-qualified to deliver it, there's plenty to like and enjoy with this one to hold off the minor problems. The biggest issue is the utterly cliché storyline at play, feeling like so many other films of the type where the spoiled group of friends find something sinister lurking behind the facade of Eastern Europe and it tends to play those scenarios off without any deviation beyond the front of hiding their true intentions. As well, with all the focus on them partying and looking to have fun throughout the city, this does seem to take a while to get to the torture which isn't a bad thing as it's not a sluggish, dull pace but does leave this one with a slightly overlong period in the beginning. While not detrimental at all, these do hold this back slightly overall.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Nudity, drug use and Sexual Content.

I'm a gore hound, I have and will always love graphic horror films. So I pretty much knew what I was getting when I went into this film. Wasn't expecting a good story, good acting, etc but I was still a little disappointed.So right off the bat you can tell this is pretty much a lower budget version of hostel, just replace the "Hostel" with a tattoo parlor. It really does copy a lot of aspects of Hostel, even has a group of misfit local kids that don't have much to do with the story just like in Hostel. So I'll try to focus on the things that this does different. One is that we actually have a killer, played by Robert LaSardo, he does a decent job but I just didn't find him creepy or intimating. In fact in the film he comes off as a pretty nice guy and the parts where is suppose to be sinister just seem forced.So outside of LaSardo there isn't really much to say about the cast, all the actors who played the victims were pretty meh but it didn't really matter since the whole point of the film is to watch them die not watch them talk. I think my biggest complaint when it comes to the cast would have to be the character of Uta, played by Sara Fabel. She is just a really corny and unrealistic character, they take the whole "Tough Chick" thing way too far and it really takes from the grittiness of the film.OK so now lets focus on the one good aspect of this flick, and that is the gore. Like I said I am a massive gore hound, and this movie did deliver when it came to that. The kill scenes are pretty brutal and they really don't hold back from showing you everything. The only bad thing is that there really isn't a lot of variety in the killing so it gets kind of dull.Overall this isn't a horrible horror film. It has it's moments but if you are not a fan of gore than this film really won't have much to offer you unless you really want to see some soft-core sex scenes, in which case you would probably be better off watch some skinemax.Not the worst but still not very good 4/10

I suppose that because of the free teenage aspect that is sold or should I say oversold in this epic fail of a film that the younger audiences will really enjoy its mindless and stupid content. So, beyond the youthful and curvacious tits and asses that seem to be everywhere we see a foul mouthed and vacuous bunch of stereotyped spring break morons visit a rather great European city which is depicted in this film as the Soddom and Ghamoroah of the eastern European theatre. It is not like that for sure but hey its a movie. This film is so bad that even with the greatest sense of fair play I would have to give it a zero. The actors were really pathetic and they really are not actors and that blonde idiot of a goth psycho was the worst of them. I hope this film loses as much money as possible for the producers so that they never ever make another film. Wishful thinking.
