This horror film is one of many new films that are known to be very violent and contain scenes of explicit gore. these films are called Gorno or torcher porn. there is a lot of discussion about these films like there was with the exorcist. there are reports of audience fainting or throwing up during the movie and there are mixed reviews.
the plot: a photographer and a doctor awaken in a bathroom chained to some pipes at opposite ends of the room. there is a corpse in the middle of the room. an audio tape instructs the doctor to kill the photographer to save his family and the photographer has until 6PM to escape. they both have hacksaws that can only be used to cut through their feet and not the chains.
according to http://movie-censorship.com the film was cut to get an R rating instead of NC17 in the US (people under 17 can see R rated films with adults but NC17 is strictly 17+) the film makers did this because the target audience is around 15 - 30 (so teenagers and young adults) and this is the case for most modern horror movies. so this shows how a films rating can effect its gross profit.
Because the BBFC uses a different rating system the uncut version was shown in UK cinemas. in the UK there is no rating that says that under 18's can see a film if with an adult but instead the rating system specifies age groups.
the R rated version had 14 cuts which is equal to 24.2 seconds.
example:
this shot of a corpse was removed but was shown in the uncut version.
