Ever since the events of the original La
Petite Mort, the club of the same name has been sold to Matheo
Maxime (Mika Metz), who if anything has taken the place to new heights,
catering to a rich clientele and sharing their exploits when torturing
their victims via the internet. Actually the business runs well enough to
attract the attention of documentary filmmakers who follow Matheo's team
around. And this team are mainly sisters Dominique (Annika Strauss) and
Monique (Yvonne Wölke), who basically do the dirty work at the club, from
preparing the victims to torturing and killing them on internet shows to
cleaning up afterwards - always bullied by Matheo's wife Jade (Micaela
Schäfer), who not long ago was one of their ranks. But all the success
doesn't make Matheo happy, as deep inside he wants to be a woman - and he
has his own gruesome methods to make this happen ... Genre director Uwe
Boll has a cameo as an online torturer. Just like the first
movie, La Petite Mort 2 takes quite a bit of inspiration from Hostel
- but what sets this movie apart is that it totally shifts focus away from
the victims and concentrates on the torturers and killers. And while the
film's pretty much as explicit as can be when it comes to violence and
gore, it's also surprisingly funny - in a very dark sort of way of course.
Couple that with a rather elegant directorial effort that focuses on more
than just the violence, and you've got a rather unusual piece of horror -
though by no means for general audiences, after all this film still is
torture porn, and proud of it.
