Genre: Horror, Thriller

Synopsis: Money problems will push Mary Mason (Isabelle), a student in surgery, into a world she didn't know before.
Review: From the first half of the movie trailer I noticed that it was well shot, but I thought the trailer revealed all there is to know about the movie. Well it didn't, and there were still plenty of surprises ahead. The movie cleverly focuses on the perverted minds displayed there (and there are many minds, in many flavours!) rather than gratuitous gore scenes. Yes there is blood but not as much as you would expect from a movie about a rogue surgeon. There are also sensual scenes in juxtaposition to the more brutal ones.
The directors are canadian Twisted Twins (that's the name of their production company) that also appear in the movie as a weird couple. The successful Katharine Isabell (already 95 movies on her account!) is perfect in her role, and can be very sexy at times, very scary at others.
Rating: /10
