I think it would only be fair to say that Singapore Sling is more than a little bit on the weird side of the cinematic spectrum. The story in this Greek oddity takes place over the course of one stormy night. A psychotic mother and daughter, who live in a remote villa, imprison a man whom they christen Singapore Sling. Much strangeness follows.This has to be described as a true one off. In some ways this may very well be a good thing, as this is a movie with some content elements that can charitably be described as somewhat unpleasant. But it's no ordinary exploitation shockfest; it's an experimental art film as well. For starters, its shot in black and white and it's full of strange dialogues, deeply unusual characters, visual invention, genre clashing and an absolute barrow load of transgressive material. Consequently, it's very hard to categorise. It one solely recommended for those with a taste for the bizarre. It recalls film-noir, with its hard-boiled voice-overs from the main character – except this is delivered in Greek, while the mother and daughter speak exclusively in English; ordinarily details like these would raise questions but in this case it just seems par for the course. This man, Singapore Sling, pursues an ex-lover who vanished after visiting these women; her name is Laura which is a nod the 1944 film-noir…I think.But all this film-noir malarkey is juxtaposed with a great deal of extreme material; like two completely differing film genres colliding at random. To that end we have lots of sexual torture and humiliation, which includes, of all things, graphic urination, vomiting and…masturbation with fruit. If you think any of its erotic then good luck to you but I think it's only fair to say that this sort of stuff will titillate an extremely small demographic. I personally found a lot of what I encountered in here pretty repulsive to be perfectly honest but the fact is that this is a well-made and acted film, while its sheer originality was impressive. So it does have an impact. Utterly strange and wilfully different, Singapore Sling is a movie that should be approached with some caution but its most likely not going to resemble anything else you've ever seen before. Whether or not that's a good thing I will leave you to be the judge of.

Let me start off by saying that there is absolutely no similarity between this "film" and the 1944 film Laura, aside from the fact that both films feature a detective, and a character named Laura. Those reviewers who are comparing both films for whatever reason are, confused. Not that there's much to understand about Singapore Sling, but…Being as every reviewer has rehashed the events that take place in this "film" I will not belabor them here. Nikolaidis has created what may well be the most genuinely weird intentionally weird p.o.s ever made. Others (Harmony Korine, David Lynch, Troma, etc) have tried and failed, making only boring dreck that people with worse taste than fans of SS could pretend to enjoy. Others (Pasolini, David Lynch, etc) because of their legal insanity, unwittingly make films that give the viewer a tiny peek at the vast ocean of lunacy that is the Director's "mind" (they don't know any better). Singapore Sling is a film that succeeds in being intentionally unintelligible, shocking, infuriating and "against the grain" for the sake of it. That's all there is to it. There is nothing more here. Nothing in the idiotic, pointless and cryptic dialogue. Nothing in the spastic, borderline drug induced performances. Nothing in the clunky cinematography, the grade school play level set design, the painfully failed comedy, the tired and poorly staged violence and sex acts….absolutely nothing. It's not good horror, mystery, or black comedy.It is excellent exploitation trash in the truest sense. There are times when it comes of as typically nauseatingly pretentious, but for the most part it seems like Nikolaidis isn't taking anything seriously. He knew the type of "film" he wanted to make and the type of experience he wanted the audience to have. In other words, he wanted to make the sickest most insane film nobody had yet seen, all else be damned. He comes close. Though, I haven't read any interviews or anything involving a "director's statement" or what have you, and probably never will, so who knows what exactly his intentions were. I can't imagine why anyone would care anyway… Check it out, if you have absolutely nothing better to do with your life.

... Singapore Sling has been one of my fav films since many years .... .. ..... I don't want to say much about it .. just a very important element that everyone who has seen Singapore Sling or will see it must know .. ... A movie that I saw last night made me see a HUGE drawback in this beloved film ... . .. .. The movie that I saw is called " dead reckoning " .. it is a film noir with Humphrey Bogart ( for more about this movie --> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039305/ ) .... So the thing is that the words in the last scene of "dead reckoning" are almost the same with the ones spoken in the last scene of "Singapore Sling" .. !!!!----.. Nikos Nikolaidis has stolen these lines ...---- ( they are NOT put in the film like a "game" between him and the viewer .. to see if somebody will find the "link" between the two movies .. NO .. -->.. the lines are clearly stolen by Nikolaidis )

Going into Singapore Sling I knew almost nothing about it. I knew that it was supposed to be somewhat "extreme" and that's about it. But what was delivered was nothing I could ever have expected. Holy moly was this a strange movie. Let me rephrase that. Holy f@ckin sh!t was this a strange movie! Yeah that's much better.Singapore Sling is about a mother and daughter duo who have gone completely nuts after father died. Not saying they weren't nuts before, but I'm guessing father wouldn't have approved of everything they're now doing....even though father was a murderer. Haaha, OK, the story revolves around this duo and a man they named Singapore Sling. Singapore is a investigator on the trail of a woman named Laura who is missing and presumed dead. He follows a trail of clues and ends up finding these two whackos. The duo then hold the injured Singapore hostage in their home, while pretty much just trying to make him go nuts. But it's really just they're way of playing and having fun. Having fun for them consists of torture, sex, role-playing, masturbation with fruit, messy eating and the list goes on and on. The movie goes like this for quite a while, just the viewer getting to know these ladies.Singapore Sling is one of the strangest flicks I have ever seen, and also one of the most well made. Shot in a film noir type way, reminiscent of old style classics and combined with stylish, beautiful shots and fantastic music, the movie looks and sounds incredible. But the high praise should go to the actors involved. They were fantastic. Especially the daughter, talking about a role she was born to play....hot chick too. Singapore Sling's only problem is that it is a little long. It's a movie you definitely should watch more than once to fully digest what they're throwing at you. The acting alone is worth another watch. And it's not really a movie to fast-forward either. It's a movie to soak in. Singapore Sling should be a must see for any serious film lover out there. It's too unique not to be. 9 outta 10
