Previous reviewer is describing another movie not this "Punishment" movie. Not a bad independently made movie. Some parts were so intense that my girlfriend couldn't watch anymore, which I thought was cool. It has a solid story that dives into what makes a serial killer tick and provides enough guessing and twists to keep the momentum going. Great soundtrack and music throughout the film which you don't see a lot in independently low budget movies. The two main characters, James Cole and Claire Bleakley, are acted well and the killer plays sick, creepy, and demented well also. The torture scenes are intense but not overly in your face graphic like hostel but threads just enough between showing and leaving the viewer's imagination to make the scenes that much more twisted and sick. Not a blockbuster by no stretch of the imagination but definitely a fun ride.
