such movies should not exist or be triple x rated

Did you miss the part where this movie is rated R?

You are so closed minded and too consumed by conventional film. This is an interesting piece of film and respectable. It has vision and heart. I applauded this women for making this film.

I think you are dead wrong; films like this should exist..as long as they are as intelligent and insightful as this one. This is in no way torture porn, but rather a very accurate and educational look into the mind and motives of a serial killer's mentality. It's not for younger, or impressionable minds, however for thinking adults adults, a film like this can serve as a lesson. These sick individuals are out there, and without films and books like these, people wouldn't realise it. There is nothing intelligent about burying your head in the sand. That's a sure way to get into trouble. Educate yourself about what is going on in the world. This film is pure art, without one frame of exploitation or "torture porn."

You'd be fine showing oral sex to kids,but violence or blood is pornographic?

So you did'nt like something and your solution is that it should never exist????????? its appalling people like you exist.

fat pink mast!

In fairness, before the film started it had the big RED warning screen (as opposed to the green one you're probably used to) and it said Rated R for "disturbing and sadistic violent content, including bloody killings and rape, and for language and sexuality." So, you kinda knew what was coming.

Said so on the box too. (And, for a bit of history - it actually WAS quite the battle to get this kicked down from NC17 to R.)

That said - yes, the film was quite brutal. But it's a brutal topic. But it has less to do with physical brutality (ala the torture porn you refer to, like Hostel) and more to do with the psychological brutality. I've seen way worse in terms of... these kinds of movies... than Chained. Chained gets you less with the graphic nature of what's going on, and more with the horror of finishing the film and thinking, "There could really be people out there like that."

Which is thoroughly creepifying.

I didn't the film was that bad actually. Maybe there are different versions and I watched a more edited one but there weren't any scenes that were partically grapic. TBH I've seen more disturbing stuff on SVU and criminal minds.

Also I don't understand why it matters that this was directed by a woman. If you have different standards for women and men when it comes to something like film making than you are kind of a sexist.
