This movie had so much potential for gore fans but the story itself was not thought out very well....the acting is bad and the editing is even WORSE.....the sequence of events is IMPOSSIBLE to figure out.....it seems as though all of the scenes were just thrown together at random....one of the worst made movies i've ever seen....one minute its day time....then its night...then day again...you never can tell which day or night you are watching.....if it wasn't for the shock value, i would not own this movie.....it would take too long to type out all the stupidity in this movie...but at least it does have "controversy" going for it..and the director's cut is rare,so......

Having searched for this movie for well over 6 hours, I finally found it nestled amongst the annals of many of the world's most reviled films. Reading the description, and how the film was banned in multiple countries and was deemed an "atrocity of human decency", I knew this was exactly the type of movie I wanted to watch. Once it started, I quickly realized that it wasn't the content of the film that made it disturbing, but the fact that someone actually got it financed. The acting was embarrassingly bad, the dialog even worse, and nothing about this film left any kind of impression on me, least of all fear. It did have great special effects, and the blood was extremely realistic, but when that is the only redeemable quality of the film, you know you have hit a dead end in cinema. This movie is one of those films that deserves to be banned because of how horrible in quality it is; it was written & directed by people whose sole purpose was to shock and disturb, and still managed to f$%k that up. Do yourself the favor and watch some French Extreme horror and forget this trash was made. There are plenty of movies out there that are infinitely more deserving of your valuable time.

I finally got an uncut copy of MSP and man, what a let down. With all that notoriety I kinda expected something way more extreme than this. Maybe back in 2004 things were different, but given that it came out the same year as SAW it's no more gory than that. I'm not going to attack the acting (like many have) as a lot of it's actually OK. The plot is as daft as a brush however with some crazy German, Nazi loving, woman hater, basically luring women to his dungeon, having violent sex with them, then killing them. But funnily enough, the actual kills are barely ever shown - and this is considered a brutal gore filled flick? Nope, it just isn't. The sex scenes are pretty rampant however so maybe that's where the bannings came from, but apart from a chainsaw scene near the end, a nail through a hand, and the stabbing of a child, it really isn't that shocking. Certainly not as much as it's made out to be anyway. I didn't totally dislike it as I've seen much worse in terms of dire horror movies, and I liked the rock track played over the end credits, so I think 5 outta 10 is fair.

come on man! this is a crime. making movie like these wasting the time of humanity. and they even put these "WARNING: SHOCKING, HORRIFIC, CONTROVERSIAL." on the DVD. i guess they are trying to warn us because first how SHOCKING these movie is because it doesn't even make any sense. second HORRIFIC, i mean where did they find these actors and actresses! junk shop? and the director is he on crack or LSD or something directing movie like this? my dog can direct a movie better than him! third CONTROVERSIAL, i mean a Nazi wearing a cowboy hat? does that make sense? and first of all killing all them strippers? and the nightmare scenes? come on! IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MOVIE IS WRITTEN BY A SECOND GRADE STUDENT! IT SUCKS A**!!!
