Donkey Punch (2008)

I'm not sure exactly why this is so bad - maybe because there are so many things wrong.Acting was fair. Most characters were annoying and one dimensional. Most people will watch it for the "punch' but it is slow leading up to it and slow afterward. I was relieved to see some of them die.Technically - portions of the movie were so black that you could not see what was happening and this was is places where it lent nothing to the script or movie to do so.Clichés - Many with no twist. Because nothing ever goes wrong when a bunch of kids go party with strangers on a boat...Joke is on the viewer - real person who got punched.

I'm not sure what I expected when I put Donkey Punch on. I didn't read much about it and only vaguely remember a trailer for it back in 2008.The basic plot is girls decide to go on a holiday to Spain to take their friend's mind off her cheating ex. Cue sun, sea and nightclubbing where they meet three young men and later another man who just happen to be a part of a crew of a yacht. More sun sea and partying with kinky stories told of a the movies namesake. During a graphic sex scene between five of the revellers one of the girls is accidentally killed. Lies and desperation the men try to hide their crime while the girls want to expose them, leading to a fight for survival.The story was all well and good and the acting was very well done especially the characters of Bluey and Kim. Some have said it was predictable and it does follow a slightly typical storyline of boys vs girls. However, there is more. Unlike Hollywood productions like this there is no stalking serial killer in a mask, no thick girls screaming while running upstairs instead of out the door. The script was sometimes a bit disjointed and I did lose interest once or twice which was a shame.Overall it was interesting, brutal but enjoyable and entertaining. The deaths were not over the top and sometimes it felt quite realistic. It was easy to forget it was so low budget. Not for everyone and not one to watch with your Nan but definitely if you are a fan of Brit flicks give it a shot.

OK, so I've just watched this and can't really understand why the ratings have been so poor. It's not brilliant but it's alright, there are definitely far, far, FAR worse films out there. Basically, three girls go to Majorca for the weekend, meet four blokes and go to their yacht for fun and frolics. Their afternoon of debauchery turns to tragedy when during quite a graphic sex scene one girl, Lisa, is donkey punched resulting in a broken neck and, well, death. Personally I didn't think it was as amazing as some reviews have suggested but I'm not a 15 year old boy who's never seen a pair of boobs or a willy before. The rest of the film centres around the remaining characters to fight for their survival involving a lot of blood and violence, all scenes I thought were pretty decent. Don't be put off by the poor reviews on here, it is worthy of a watch. Watch it if only to watch the annoying bloke bleed slowly to death.

Brit horror/thriller Donkey Punch is named after an apocryphal sex act that involves giving your partner a whack to the back of the head as you're about to blow your load, the result supposedly being the rapid tightening of your lover's muscles and a mind-blowing orgasm for you! Of course, bashing someone on the back of the head whilst screwing them is not only considered rather impolite in most circles, but also pretty dangerous, as Josh (Julian Morris) discovers when he stupidly performs the Donkey Punch on blonde slut Lisa (Sian Breckin), one of a trio of hot babes invited to party with his pals aboard a luxury yacht.Poor Lisa ends up with a broken neck, and Josh and his mates with one hell of a problem: what do they do with Lisa's body and how do they stop her friends Tammi (Nichola Burley) and Kim (Jaime Winstone) from reporting the death to the authorities?Anyone who remembers LWT's series Ibiza Uncovered knows exactly how outrageous some Brit girls can be on holiday, and Oliver Blackburn's first full-length feature merely takes that notion and sails off into the big blue yonder with it: what would happen if a few of these reckless, loose-knickered, booze-soaked slappers bit off more than they could chew?Blackburn handles the first half of his film brilliantly, the build up to the titular act being thoroughly engrossing, and more than a little debauched, with the girls partaking of a variety of class A drugs before Kim and Lisa go below deck to give three of the four lads a night to remember, in more ways than one. The sex scenes, in particular, are unforgettable, with both girls stripping off for some extremely realistic rumpy pumpy, lusty Lisa taking on two at a time. There's full frontal nudity from both sexes, and one could easily be forgiven for occasionally thinking that the shagging is for real.Given the daring nature of the movie's near-the-knuckle sex scenes, it's all the more surprising then to find that the much touted violence that follows is relatively tame in comparison. I was expecting a total bloodbath, but as events spiral out of control all the gore we get is a stabbing, a death by flare ripped-off from Dead Calm, and a disappointing killing via outboard motor that isn't anywhere near nasty enough.That said, this is still an enjoyable effort overall, and possibly the most shocking film ever named after a spurious sex act (at least until someone is brave enough to make a film called Munging!).
