CONTROVERSIAL British thriller Donkey Punch does its best to shock audiences with uncensored sex and senseless violence in this disappointing low budget effort.
A festival favourite marketed on boobs and blood, the film tells the story of a group of hot young vacationers in Spain who hook up on a luscious yacht for an afternoon of drugs, drinking and sex. But when one of them is accidently killed and an alibi made, the paranoid group turn on each other in a fight for survival.
But despite some strong street cred, and some strong reviews, even the lure of a hot young cast can do little to hide the shortfalls of a clichéd story, bland, boring direction and a script void of any real tension.
Sure the film pushes boundaries, but is it enough to simply shock an audience anymore?
The film’s highly-publicised nudity is sure to see it do on rental shelves, but those looking for some kind of substance best look elsewhere.
