Ridiculous, Stupid & Bad Acting (That's it's good points!)

This is made by the same Teraz Films & Director Roman Nowicki that gave us "Abducted by the Daleks" so I should have lowered my expectations.

Since the title obviously tells you whipping is a major part of the story. The whipping looks so fake it's almost, yes almost funny. The whip marks just appear all of a sudden. Then in the next scene, those marks totally disappear. Once in the middle of the scene. Since whipping is the main plotline, shouldn't more attention be made to the visual FX?

The ridiculous & stupidity of the whipping scenes is surpassed by the story. The main female character is a cop. A cop that is continuously more inept that actual comedy film cops. Then is the scene where she is in the middle of the woods at night, it's pitch black and a number of other characters find her and come & go. No spoiler but that scene gets even more ridiculous.

The actresses are something worse than terrible. The dialogue is atrocious. Guessing English is not their first language but I've seen actresses read their lines better than them using cue cards. If they weren't using cue cards I am beyond words.

All the male actors had their dialogue dubbed (their mouths don't or barely move) & run thru a vocal effect even though some are normal characters. The voice effect used on the main character the Phantom Whipper is sometimes difficult to understand. Although most of their dialogue is absolutely terrible anyway.

The latter part of the movie (I won't give any spoilers) just brings more ridiculous dialogue, story & even the special effects and I do mean ridiculous. There's a few laughs (can count on one hand) near the end but not sure they were intentionally funny. One funny second (not minute) is what is supposed to be a solid pipe is obviously a pool noodle or something similar.

There is a hardcore male/female sex scene that just sort of gets plopped into the middle of the movie without explanation. The main female characters are completely naked thru most of the movie. Even sometimes when you wouldn't expect it. So this film does have a few (not a lot) explicit scenes beyond the nudity. It's not worth watching for the sex or nudity.

You might think this movie was made intentionally to be funny. But no. Only a few unintentional laughs near the end. It is not worth sitting thru the first 80 minutes of cringe worthy (nothing funny) movie to get to those laughs at stupid things. And although extremely rare I have seen worse movies.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

Inspector Carla Novak is rapidly descending into a world of depravity, sadistically intense corporal punishment and unbridled masochistic lust.
