This movie was complete garbage. Who are the people that are rating this super high and what the hell is wrong with you?! The subject of the movie is already extensively dark and dreadful. But, when you add that with distasteful continuous violence and perversion the movie has to do much more to convince me that it's actually telling a STORY. This movie doesn't tell a story anyone ever needed to see. What exactly was the POINT of this movie? Men are animals? It's just a stupid movie I'm sorry. It's highly unlikely the main character, Angel, would have the role she had in this movie in real life. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Honestly let me recommend another movie if you really do enjoy violent or twisted movies, but that at least is a movie WORTH the watch. Martys was very, very good... Just make sure you see the 2008 & not 2015. You're welcome. Skip this crap.

I had to stop in the middle, when she kills the soldier and the hunting starts. I just could not handle the fact if they catch her what is going to happen... I went to video sites and watched interviews with the actresses. I had to know they are just acting and they are safe now... It may sound foolish but yeah this movie made a huge impression to me. I was scared. I thought it only will be a horror that i can sign as "watched" and forget about it. But i will never forget it. Very sad that this whole story based on true events. And they made a great decision not to entirely close the movie at the end. Couse it is still happening in the world we must not forget about it. There is no happy ending for this movie. I am still shaking when i think back to this movie, scenes.... It describes what is my opinion.

I like the ol' indie films and ones with originality. But this film also has balls, and the true ability to shock, in some truly repellent and confronting moments that are full on. The Seasoning House was pretty much what I expected, as in only seeing bits of it on the free movie channel. Here in it's watch of entirety, what impressed me was the raw brutality of these military pigs who have their way, sexually, with these group of enslaved young girls. You underestimate how merciless they really are. The girls are not in the best states either, faces bloodied, bodies bruised, where rough sex against their will, doesn't help either. The youngest girl, a mute, is entrusted by a pimp to look after the girls. Some of the girls aren't so lucky, where this long time abuse has taken a toll on them, their bodies dumped in the cold dark woods. When the mute girl recognizes a squad of soldiers led by a ferociously cold hearted corporal (Sean Pertwee) as the ones who killed her family, she becomes a one girl vendetta, disposing of these scum in a much bloody, exhilarating and appreciative style, as like in Bedeviled. There were no real surprises in this film, like when the girl is taken in, and wakes up in suspicious surroundings with a lot of pig memorabilia, one might say. What gives it away is a familiar gesture at the start of that scene, where how her fates end in the finale is worrying if stereotypical, as if seeing other dark themed films like this. TSH is a nifty little Indie shocker, with raw moments that really shock. Be warned. The whole mood of the film is cold, set during the Balkans war of 96', painting a very dark and unflattering picture, but who am I to say if this applied to a few of them troops in a lower degree.

I watched this movie last night and the first thing I wanted to do when it was over was to contact Sean Pertwee, whom I have always liked, and tell him that I thought he gave a POWERHOUSE performance of his career in this movie. Sadly, I was unable to contact him via Facebook so I'll just have to hope he reads this.The Seasoning House's subject matter is a very upsetting and hard to watch in places but.....WOW, where do I start heaping the praise? Well first I have to say that I was shocked to learn, while watching the special features on the DVD, that this is Rosie Day's FIRST leading roll in a movie. She is like a seasoned (pun intended) actor with many years of experience under her belt. This young lady should go a long, long way in the film making business and was totally brilliant as Little Angel.Kevin Howarth also deserves high praise for his roll as Viktor as he was also totally convincing for his part and EVERY other actor seemed totally committed to making this movie work, especially the young ladies. Paul Hyett (director) also did an exceptional job with some clever camera work on a lot of scenes.But, as I have already stated, THE kudos in my opinion must go to Sean Pertwee in the roll of Goran. He was so realistic as this character that he REALLY bothered and unnerved me. I have seen pretty much everything he has done but this was by far the one I will remember the most. Amazing Mr. Pertwee, simply amazing.P.S. Not overjoyed with the ending!!!
