What a trippy movie! !!
OK so basically everything from murder to violence to cannibalism it's all there!!! Sometimes you'll laugh so hard at the dark humor you'll wonder what is wrong with you lol
Not my favorite but definitely worth watching if you can stomach the gore it's entertaining for sure and unpredictable.
In a way the old land lord and the girl with the suitcases seem like two loki style mischievous gods who are always manipulating the tenants. Like I said super trippy!
I liked the ending but you have to pay attention to understand it.

STORY:
This movie was not what I've expected. I was expecting for some heartwarming and adventurous movie but this flm gave me a super adventurous, mind boggling, heart stopping scenes which will be qualified as cannibalism and torture? Grrrr... Honestly the story itself was great. The story of a man who was a police officer who undercovered as an insane person but lost his memories in the process. When he regained his memories and told the authority that he was a police asset no one beleived him and they end up torturing him, some of the worst torture acts I've ever scene. Persons who did it to him don't have any souls. If the film out enough attention on that part this film could have been a good film. But this film gave too much attention on the torture scences which made me push the forward button so many times.

ACTING/CAST:
Honestly most scenes requires a strong stamina. There were numerous sex scene also and I guess actors and actresses who played that scene really did well because first of all just thinking of the scene was already unbearable how much more actingh it.

MUSIC:
I lower down the volume because if not many would think that I was watching a porn films because as what I have said this film contains numerous sex scenes. There were scenes were actors and actresses are shouting. Shouting in pain, pleasure and enjoyment so I preferres lowering down the volume.

REWATCH VALUE:
Not in my wildest dreams!

I think this film was worst than human centipede if you happened to watch it.

I watched it the last night of February. I had an idea of what I would type, but I find it hard to put it into words, so I watched it again two nights ago, and with the knowledge I gained from the first watch, the second watch offered a different experience that really amazed me.

Basically, this is about a landlord who spies on his tenants and takes notes about their routines, but one of his tenants, a girl, gives him an idea about breaking the deadlock in life; the landlord takes her words to heart and decides to shatter his tenants' routine lives.

The way the landlord did it and how it really had a massive impact on his tenants was so miraculous. He set up the tenants one by one before eventually linking them all together in a madness. It's involved (an almost or is it?) incest, unfaithfulness, lust, and superpowers; that's all, if I'm not mistaken. The landlord sabotaged just a little thing in them tenants disciplines lives, leading to such a doomed fate but entertaining in my eyes.

Overall, I find the atmosphere exciting, like in crime films, but there are moments when this film could feel frightening, like when we are introduced to the mysterious tenant.
This film looked so beautiful; the set, the lighting, the shot, the effect, etc. were just impressive.
The acting, which all the actors did well without exception, is pretty much one of the strongest reason why this film could be engaging and enjoyable.

There's still more this film had, the twist that whether it's there or not wouldn't be a problem, but I like that this film had it. The twist made this film go full circle imo, and gave the landlord proper closure to his story, which ended with satisfaction.

That's all I think. Thanks.
