Donkey Punch (2008) 6/10

Starring : Jaime Winston, Robert Boulter, Sian Breckin, Tom Burke, Nichola Burley, Julian Morris, Jay Taylor
Director : Olly Blackburn
Running Time : 99 mins

A trio of English girls on holiday in Mallorca meet a group of young men who invite them back to their yacht for a night of dodgy sex games, booze and drugs, but when the sex games get a little too frisky and one of the girls is killed, the tone of the evening takes a turn for the worse as the boys try to cover up the death while the remaining girls try to get off the boat and back to shore.

This wasn't a bad movie, it's just that the deaths were ridiculously over the top and unnecessarily gory. The sort of deaths shown here would work well in a slasher movie, but when the murders are largely accidental it feels a little too forced. Couple in with that the saucy sex scenes and you've got yourself an exaggerated horror-thriller that leaves a lot to be desired.
