TheRetardedVacuum After skimming through several bad reviews for this movie, I had low expectations, maybe that's why I enjoyed it as much as I did, that and the incredible gore.While suffering from a rather slow start, it gets good once the gore gets going. There is some incredible action and gore in this movie. Some of it is pretty unnecessary and is done simply for the sake of showing more bodily mutilation on screen, this is one of those things where whether that's a good thing or a bad thing all depends on the viewer, personally I loved it myself!That's not to say the movie doesn't have it's flaws, because it does (hence my lower rating). Some of the gore effects aren't all that convincing (which is forgivable considering this movie had a limited budget), the acting is not so good, the shaky cam during the gore scenes is annoying, there are at least two scenes where the music drowns out the characters voices, and another where two songs actually play over each other! It's really annoying.Also the scene where the main woman (played by director Olaf Ittenbach's wife Martina) is getting beaten while tied to a chair, could have been really effective if it didn't look so fake. If they could do a decent job of making all of the other scenes of violence look reasonably good, why not this one? There is also a part during that scene where the guy torturing the woman decides for whatever reason to untie her, then she stabs him in the neck with a broken glass bottle, brilliant dude!Given the amount of gore in this movie most of the flaws can be forgiven so a certain extent, but they did taint my enjoyment for this movie a little. I would still recommend it to gore film fans. Remember, watch it for the gore and nothing else.

johannes2000-1 I recently watched two Ittenbach-movies within one week, attracted by the stories on the cover: this one and "Beyond all limits". They are actually both in the same vein.Maybe there's a certain audience for it, but I have to admit that it's definitely not my cup of tea. That has nothing to do with a tender heart, I'm really a horror-addict and I can take about anything. But Ittenbach seems to forget that movie-making is about more than just punching people in the belly with a visual surplus of gore. There should also be something like a more or less coherent story to begin with, and a plot, and a decent script and at least one or two professional actors. What we get here lacks all of the afore-mentioned. You could as easily go to a butcher and watch him kill and dissect a cow for one and a half hour. It's obvious that Ittenbach only wants to show-off, like a school- boy who tries to impress his class-mates:"look what I dare to do!!". The movie is supposed to be horror, but it's not: it's never in any way scary, it's just tasteless and with the ceaselessly mounting scenes of gruesome tortures it gets more and more predictable, boring and at many times even preposterous. To give you an example: the scene where a guy starts to dismember the body of a killed person in a bath-tub. He steps in the bath-tub naked (why?? To add to the: "look what I dare to show"-feeling?) and starts a dissection that takes about 5 full minutes, cutting and sawing and knifing and tearing, while standing up to his knees in a mush of bloody flesh. There is no way that this prolonged scene adds anything to the story, it's just showing-off. The whole movie is full of this. Breaking toes, driving knives into eyes, stabbing children, beating-up a woman senseless; we see bowels pouring out off bellies, mutilated corpses, it endlessly goes on and on and on. Maybe I should admire the special effects - I admit, it all looks pretty convincing. But that's about it, there's nothing more to admire.O, I almost forgot. The people that have to undergo all these horrors also have to act. However, I would hardly call it acting: they just drone their lines with heavy German (or other weird) accents. But maybe no-one cared for decent acting, since sooner or later (mostly sooner) every character gets killed in a horrifying way. Professional acting must have seemed like a waste of money.As I said: there's probably a market for this kind of exploitation horror, and I realize that all that I've said here will sound to a specific kind of aficionado as music in the ears. But in my opinion it has nothing to do with movie-making. It's plain silly, cheap and childish.

cholo loco oh my gosh. The director and editor should be banned from ever making movies like this along with some people on here saying it was an OK movie. Unbelievable is all I can say.What the hell was that movie. Bad acting/ bad editing/ cant hear anybody saying anything cos crap music was so loud.How in the hell do film companies let movies like this pass through i wonder.I just want to kill myself for watching such a bad movie.Couldn't hear a thing with actress' accent let alone the stupidly loud 'background' music. The kids were just as bad especially when the daughter was just standing there while her mother was bleeding to death. I don't know whether the bad acting was done intentionally or not but I felt sorry for the actors. You'd wonder whether they even got paid. I would also like to thank my local videostore for quality control of their video intakes without even watching it first so their customers don't have to go through the pain. I want my money back please.Its so bad that its actually funny. Be afraid be very afraid...of this movie!!!

homecoming8 "Dard Divorce" is a raw mixture of horror and crime and if you see the Unrated Version, you're in for quite a treat. The few comments I read so far are rather negative and I wonder why. The music isn't bad (not perfect either) and the same goes for the cast. It certainly is not amateuristic in any way. The plot is thrilling with a couple of neat twists, some surprising although I have to say I saw the last one coming. But the story really keeps you guessing 'til the end. But what really makes the movie intense and gripping is the amount of violence and blood: boy, there's plenty of that ! There are scenes that surpasses the Saw and Hostel movies by far. The director really builds up the tension and the special effects are great and extremely bloody. It is the realistic tone of the movie that makes it so disturbing at the same time. I really enjoyed this one as a horror-fan (and as a gore-hound, I have to admit it so there) This is certainly not for everyone's taste but I'm sure the fans will enjoy it but be warned: it doesn't get any more brutal than this...
