Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Joel Sandman (Takatalvi) This is literally, without doubt, the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've actually kind of seen a lot. Normally I can also sort of enjoy watching movies that are generally considered as being bad because they often tend to be so bad that they become funny. This is not the case with Dungeon Girl. Dungeon Girl is so bad that it becomes funny how bad it is, and even further, so that it becomes bad again, in a non-funny way.First of all it's really slow and insipid, and secondly you get a feeling that the director wants it to be some kind of an art movie by filming in many different weird angles and have many scenes that come back repeatedly. This is done over and over and over again, and it fails utterly every single time, because it doesn't feel artistic at all, only weird and forced.Another thing that got me a bit mad about this movie is the cover, which actually looks like a rather representable movie cover and which made me at least get my hopes up a bit about the movie before watching it.The description of the movie says that it is a "shocking psychological thriller" but the only thing I find shocking about this movie is that someone thought that it was a great idea to release it at all and during the time watching it I didn't really know if I were to laugh or cry.So if you want to save yourself 81 minutes of your precious lives, this might be just the movie for you to skip!
master5000 In Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the novel) the alien race of the Vongols are said to write the worst poetry in the Universe, so bad as to be exposed to it would cause your own intestines to burst out of your stomach and strangle you to death. I remember fantasizing about how such poetry would sound like. I still don't know, but after watching Dungeon Girl by Ulli Lommel I'm sure I've found the cinematic equivalent to Vongol Poetry. This film really made me want to rip my own spine out.Still, it was a pretty fun experience watching it though: joking about its extreme and infinite worthlessness with my friends made us laugh so hard we all p*ssed ourselves. If it weren't for that we probably would've committed mass suicide.And to hear that this director earlier has made films actually enjoyed by people, or let alone has made films at all before, or even knows what a film is or is supposed to be - is the the only thing as astonishing as the awfulness of- or even the very existence of this movie.There really wasn't one single element or moment in this film which didn't s**k at levels beyond the Mariana Trench.Amazing! A true accomplishment.
b3-8 ...was what we thought. Unfortunately, we checked IMDb after my wife and I paid for this movie on pay-per-view and started watching it.Well, we found out how you could all be so negative.I, although not so much my wife, enjoy "bad" movies sometimes - for example, "bad" science fiction movies with laughable plots, laughable monsters/villains/viruses/aliens/etc - I believe they are bad on purpose to make them enjoyably laughable.But this disaster has nothing to laugh about. The only joy you will realize is either when you turn it off or when it is mercifully over.Do not waste your time.
zandernat-1 From Ulli Lommel, the director who has mastered neither porn nor narrative, comes this fusion of the worst of both genres. The mindlessness of porn and the jarring, non-resolution of clumsy narrative are combined in this "to be missed at all costs" disaster of a film. Ever wonder what Hollywood means when they say "Based upon actual events"? That's just their way of saying "Once upon a time". In other words, the tale spun so maladroitly in this film has little in common with the real story. The director seems to have a prurient fascination with the fact that the actual young woman became a "media darling" after her ordeal. My impression of Lommel....hmmm...DaFoe's portrayal of a director in the comedic 2007 Rowan Atkinson film comes pretty close.
