Worth a watch but....

Warning: Spoilers
How do you write a review without spoilers.....who knows? Certainly not me so I guess this is your warning to read no further!

The films starts with a terrified woman's voice in the darkness, she appears to be talking to another woman but when the light comes on she's sitting in the back of a van next to the mutilated corpse of another woman. She is taken into a house, in the middle of nowhere, an held captive by the psychopathic killer.

****MAJOR SPOILER ALERT*****

During the girls captivity a man visits, hoping to store his horses in the empty barn next to the house, and our unfriendly psycho precedes to bludgeon him to death for his audacity. The girl is subjected to numerous beatings and degradations including anal rape, being p***ed on, put into a barrel in the blazing sun and having some of her toes chopped off. Eventually she manages to bring out submissive tendencies in the lunatic and he allows her to tie him to the bed where she extracts her revenge. The only thing that surprises me about this is that she only wants to stick a knife through his feet! You'd have thought that the least she would have done was castrate him! Oh well.

Overall this is a low budget movie that sets out to shock and manages that quite well, but it could have been so much better. I thought the acting was poor and we only see 3 characters and one corpse throughout the film. I gave this 5 out of 10, worth a watch but not that good.
