DVD_Connoisseur Ray Brady's "Boy Meets Girl" is a low budget, uncompromising and controversial shocker. When married-with-two-children Tim Poole sets out on yet another one-night-stand as an obscure drinking hole, he bites off more than he can chew. Finishing the evening in what appears to be the home-made dungeon of the psychotic Margot Steinberg, Poole's woes have only just started.This is a grim tale that has gained much notoriety due to its initial home video /DVD ban in the UK. This censorship has now been lifted and the DVD can now be purchased from all good retailers. As I'd read a lot about this project many moons ago and seen the documentary series "Banned in the UK", I knew how things were going to pan out which reduced the tension somewhat. Despite this, it's quite a gripping and unpleasant experience that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.I found the audio frustratingly unclear in places, annoying as this is a dialogue driven film. The more over-the-top violence is suggested rather than explicit but this works in its favour as it is not let down by cheap effects.Tim Poole is great as the victim, Tevin. However, it's Margot Steinberg and Danielle Sanderson who really leave an impact on the viewer. This movie is enough to make you think twice about going back to a stranger's house for a night of no-ties passion. Its use of female protagonists is effective and deeply chilling.6 out of 10. A lot of talking and psychological games fill out the running time but the experience is not as powerful as that of "Scrapbook". Some viewers will hate this movie as it's a slow paced affair but connoisseurs of modern horror may feel obliged to check it out.

Deadskill A truly funny film.The comedy that I notice has not been mentioned here so far is truly brilliant.The director changing the main character half way through the film is one of the most inventive bits of cinema (or should I say SINema) that I have ever seen.It really is funnier than watching a late night showing of Jim Davidson after being hit by a truck! Its that funny!I laughed and giggled till I threw up my own hip.Why isn't Ray Brady directing Its a Knock Out? We probably will never know.

HumanoidOfFlesh "Boy Meets Girl" is not as nasty as I expected,but still we have here a pretty disturbing stuff.A man meets a woman in the bar,the two go back to her home and there they decide to watch a porno film.The guy passes out and wakes to find himself strapped to a dentist chair.The woman starts to torture him...This artsy shocker is full of brilliant color schemes and there is a lot of atmosphere through out the film.The torture scenes are pretty tame in comparison to "Guinea Pig:Devil's Experiment"(1988),but still there is enough shocking scenes to satisfy fans of extreme stuff.Recommended!

tom.hamilton I love this film. It's riveting, smallscale and concentrated. Has a rare intensity, despite occasional lapses in acting. Gripping and frightening exploration of extreme sexuality, which pulls no punches, yet leaves much to the viewer's imagination. Might well be a key underground movie of the 90's.
