Bajo la Rosa (2017)
1/10
Mean spirited, sexually motivated torture porn
12 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The film festival I saw this at advertised as a "crime thriller." If it could be called that, it's only because that's the pretext to get a creepy man inside a family home where he can torture the father, rape the mother and molest the hell out of an underage son. And the filmmakers did it with such glee, I'm surprised nobody is reporting the main profile poster for depicting an underage model in a sexual situation. If I had known that this was going to be torture porn on the level of Human Centipede or A Serbian Film, I would have spared myself real trauma.

Don't get me wrong. I'm no prude. I hate censorship as much as anyone. But if somebody's going to show this somewhere, they should at least give a warning more than "sexual situation." Sex is different from rape, rape, rape all the way through this film. It makes no sense that it actually won an award somewhere.
