絕命派對 - Invitation Only
絕命派對 (Invitation Only) is a 2009 movie out of Taiwan. The movie stars Bryant Chang and a host of others. It is Taiwan's entry into the torture porn genre. I've known about this movie since April.
The movie follows Bryant Chang as Wade. Wade is a chauffeur to the president of a big construction corporation. While he waits, we buys car mags and dreams of owning those rich and out of range exotic cars like the Ferrari and Lamborghini's. President Yang invites Wade to an exclusive weekend party that is Invitation Only.
But there is something really special about this party. All the party goers are among the rich and famous. And they all apparently like some sick sick things.
The movie starts with the party and a slasher event. From that point one, you're pretty much informed that this will be a gory and bloody film. But half way through the film, you know who the bad guys are! This made for a much drawn out second half of the film.
If you liked Saw and Hostel, you might like this. I've never really gotten into torture porn and find that this film is somewhere in between a straight slasher triller and torture porn.
I would give it a go if you've got the guts to stick around for the gore and blood.
