3/10
This is a misguided comedy

Warning: Spoilers
When I read the plot of this movie I thought this movie must be incredibly sick and sure it is but the movie has nothing but the basic disgusting idea going that you can read in the plot.

Its pretty cheap shock value in that department because the movie is a basic horror set-up with 2 dumb girls having a break down and ending up in a mad scientists house (Rocky Horror Picture Show anyone??). From here on the movie takes an incredibly slow pacing in order to fill a feature movie with one basic sick idea. Its all set in the house of the evil doctor who drugs his victims with roofies (or a tranquilizer gun when hunting outside). The doctor who specialized in Siamese twin operations soon introduces his reverse Siamese twin operation to the unsuspecting victims with an incredibly ridiculous overhead presentation using some sketches that look like drawn by a child. At this point anyone must realize that either director Tom Six is an idiot or he has a strange kind of humor. Showing these sketches in a movie with a tag-line "100% medically accurate" is a joke by any means. The previous experiment with dogs that is presented with the doc sadly watching photos of his "3-dog" and having a gravestone engraved with "My sweet 3-dog" in his backyard are a joke.

And after the "operation" which is hardly shown you just see the 2 girls plus 1 guy in the front walking through the doctors house. The front guy is Japanese and talks Japanese throughout the movie (which is stupid for a tourist in Germany)... the girls are Americans, the other actors are German and so they keep talking in all these languages with subtitles while the doc makes them sit by the pool or teaches them to fetch the morning paper.

See... this is a joke, a really bad one that seems to try to be artsy with the long use of crane shots and mixing several languages, using no music etc. Bestpart is when the polices comes watching for the missing persons and the doctor decides to also drug them to add them to his experiment... WTF?

This movie is ridiculous... the characters have no depth or motivation, the acting is often mediocre and the horror is non-existent except for the basic mindf**k everybody hooks on to.

I won't even go in the basic absurdity of it all that would leave the front guy with everyone behind him poisoned. Although director Tom Six seems rather serious in his interviews I hope for his own sake that this movie is the misguided comedy I take it for. Everything else would be a slow and idiotic horror movie, a lousy drama or an incredibly childishexperimental movie with non-existent soundtrack and entertainment value.
