The guy tortured at the very start


This is perhaps what's confused me the most. Remember the guy I'm talking about, who had a cast made over his head, and was forced to drink something thru a funnel & tube? Well the whole story establishes this killer as doing this same thing with a long string of WOMEN, so who was the guy supposed to be that's getting killed?


And yes, on the other note, it's utterly laughable that she'd of been even remotely in the mood to have sex there. Even if you are sort of making a connection with your "fellow prisoner", that was just ridiculous.

In the Unrated version it is revealed that the guy in the beginning was tortured by elisha`s character... It happens six months after her escape.

see caps of the scene here (lowermost picture)

she`s supposed to kill & torture bad guys. So how does she find these people?
Would have made this movie even worse heh?!

^ Okay, that makes sense now because as soon as I found out what the M.O. for the killers were about torturing and murdering women, the opening scene didn't make any sense!

You've GOT to be kidding me. Well, I suppose though it's very fitting, because the movie as is was uncommonly bad, and first of all the idea that she'd be transformed by her experience to then become a torturer herself later (groan) but then why do they even bother to leave that sequence in when it makes ZERO SENSE without this clarification from the unrated version (groan groan).

wtf?

There is the theater ending where she just walks away after killing Gary and then in the unrated version she becomes a killer herself 6 months later after escaping and the beginning actually fits better because it comes full circle

That was probably the only glaring flaw of the movie. Since that scene happened I spent the whole movie expecting it to end by Jennifer getting a chance to turn the tables. Maybe the unrated version is a whole different movie?
