background
Felipe Eluti studied film in Santiago de Chile . Influenced by role models such as Jörg Buttgereit , David Cronenberg , Shinya Tsukamot , David Lynch and John Carpenter , he devoted himself to a controversial subject. A first trailer appeared in 2009 at a very early stage in the film. After that, the film was quiet for a long time. The shooting was delayed, among other things, because a member of the crew had psychological problems and had to be replaced. After the film premiered on November 29, 2012 at the Cine Festival, the DVD label Unearthed Films released another trailer on October 14, 2014.
The film is very nihilistic and dark without any humor. There are also splatter effects and the amalgamation of sex and violence. In addition to the disturbing scenes of violence, there is an audio track with grindcore , screaming and industrial . The story of the film is also not told in a linear fashion.
Due to the hardness of the material, Eluti decided to play the main role himself. On the content and message of the film, Felipe Eluti said:
“The idea of the film is to show the personal hell of a person, a person who has lost his whole life. (…) [I] I think I wanted to make a film that is not subject to any morals or extremes. I do not want to convey a direct message with the film - I would be too afraid of being misunderstood. I prefer when everyone finds their own way of approaching the film. The fact is, I don't want to glorify violence in itself or violence against women with my film. "
The film was released on March 24, 2015 in the United States on the Unearthed Films label. On September 4, 2015, the Dutch independent label Extreme in Austria and Switzerland released 1,500 copies with two different cover motifs and in a media book with a 20-page booklet.
