This movie is a thriller or a horror. Either way it's sick and scary, but well-executed, except for the orchestration of the "punishment," which takes almost 1/3 of the movie's running time. The gruesome scenes may not be for everyone. Mack The Knife playing in the background during a crucial point in the narrative is brilliant.
The ending suggests a sequel.
