Without question the very worst British film I have ever seen, this had me questioning my rental choice from literally the first frame (a Nietzsche quote on a pink background that looks like it was knocked up on a Fisher Price "My First Computer").A bunch of friends apparently pooled their student grants together to make a film (I listened to the first 5 minutes of the director's commentary) and the result was this. Honestly it would have been better spent on beer and pork scratchings.A woman picks up a man at a bar, drugs him, and 1 minute into the film he's strapped to a chair and an 85-minute torture sequence begins. Sounds great, right? Well not if that torture consists of her yelling ridiculous feminist mumbo-jumbo at him and quoting from books.A remarkable film in that the victim's plight is less painful than the audience's, Boy Meets Girl contains the worst actors outside of a Timothy Hines flick, and photography to match. Every two minutes there's a horribly ugly title card, and this grainy mess of a film is broken up into little vignettes, most of which involve a new torture method. Things perk up when he gets his hand microwaved, but the big finale only excites because we know the film will soon be over.Hopelessly inept in every conceivable way.

The main reason for me to rent this was the dvd-box, which stated it was the British answer to Man Bites Dog (C'est Arrive Pres De Chez Vous), probably a top 100 film of mine. Although Boy Meets Girl bears in fact little resemblance to it (it's more of a cross between Oodishon and Misery), it wasn't a complete waste.A man, although married, meets a girl in a bar and goes home with her. There he's drugged up and when he awakes, finds himself strapped to a dentist chair.Two women keep him there, with the eventual means of killing him, while meanwhile questioning him. All sorts of subjects are discussed, each one has it's own 'chapter' in the movie. While talking the women torture him as well. I won't go into it too deeply, but their means include a microwave, maggets and a dildo.The problem this movie has is keeping things interesting, so at like 3/4 of the film we see a silly escape attempt to keep us awake. Not very convincing, that was. Also at the end of the film you feel like: so what does it all mean, where does this lead us? If going back to Man Bites Dog, that movie had more of a story to tell, and actually had an ending.Too bad as it's not uninteresting what the makers try to do, but in the end they do kinda fail... 5/10.

Excuse me, but some of the previous reviewers have lost the plot totally here. I watched this film with an open mind expecting somewhat more than was delivered. NO, this film is not provocative, disturbing, well-acted, shocking, "artsy", or in any way entertaining.*spoilers follow* - what do we actually have here? Well a movie were obviously the main actress had had enough and made the perfect choice to abandon this film half way through. We have a man meet a girl in a bar. Then, in her appartment, he is drugged and subjected to some ridiculous torture and killed. And that's it, (if someone can point me in a more formulaic structure to this movie then I would be truly obliged). Because I saw nothing more in it than this.The acting is appalling (especially from the lead actor). As I said the "torturer" changes half way through - and this is when it starts to get really bad. Did I feel disturbed by any of the scenes shown? No. If the director/producer/writer/make-up girl/best grip had in anyway meant this then they have some serious learning to do about shock, and I'd suggest some real research. I'll forgive them the year of making - 1994 and their possible naivety, but come on - I was more shocked by the "squeal pig" scene in The Deliverance than any of this nonsense.Avoid this film: it's cheap, nasty, not shocking, terribly acted....oh yeah he dies in the end , and umm so what I don't give a s**t either as I wanted him to from the beginning anyway.Baaaaad 0/10

A cold precise anatomy of a murder. Scary as hell and a reality to many poor victims of serial murders. Being stalked, hunted tracked down and captured, the male lead Tim Pool (character Tevin?) is subjected to repeated brutal assaults both physical and psychological. He is broken down and destroyed as a person, all his secrets revealed. One of the most realistic portrayals of a fascist mind at work ever to be put on film! Watch this for a dark insight into the mind of a ruthless killer. You won't ever have a one-night stand again!
