Sex, Violence, Death and Revenge
"Little Deaths" is composed by three segments with short stories of sex, violence, death and revenge in England. 1st segment: "House & Home" Richard Gull (Luke de Lacey) and his wife Victoria Gull (Siubhan Harrison) claim that are good Samaritans and invite the starving homeless Sorrow (Holly Lucas) to have a bath and dinner with them at home. However they spike the wine and when Sorrow wakes up, she is tied naked on a bed in the basement. Richard abuses of her and Victoria stays with Sorrow humiliating her while he has a shower. He hears a scream and when he arrives in the basement, he has a gruesome surprise. "House & Home" is the best of the three segments and I really had a great surprise with the unexpected conclusion of this sick tale of humiliation. My vote is eight. 2nd segment: "Mutant Tool" The former addicted prostitute Jen (Jodie Jameson) lives with her former pimp and drug dealer Frank (Daniel Brocklebank), who also abducts persons to steal their kidneys to deliver to Dr. Reese (Brendan Gregory). Jen gives her best efforts to stay clean and refuses to meet clients from the former "agency" where she worked. When Frank asks her to go to Dr. Reese, he gives some tablets for her. Jen has headaches and nightmares and she returns to Dr. Reese, but soon she discovers the truth about the tablets that Dr. Reese gave to her. "Mutant Tool" is the weakest segment, with a confused and depressing story of drugs, addictions and abductions. My vote is four. 3rd segment: "Bitch" The receptionist Claire (Kate Braithwaite) is addicted in kinky sex with her mate Pete (Tom Sawyer). She has a phobia with dogs and can only satisfy herself with twisted sex. Pete asks her to have normal sex but she invites him to have a threesome with their friend Al (Tommy Carey). Pete does not accept and she has sex with Al anyway. Pete plots revenge against his beloved woman. "Bitch" is an erotic tale of revenge totally based on twisted sex and the second best segment. The conclusion is scary with the bitch Claire transformed literally in a bitch. My vote is seven. "Little Deaths" is only recommended for very specific audiences. My vote is seven Title (Brazil): Not Available
Sex, Violence, Guilt and Revenge
This is a collection of 3 short films that loosely touch on their subjects of rather twisted stories about sex and death. I guess "Little Deaths" is a good title for the movie considering that the French use these words as a metaphor for orgasm. So the title fits each short in this collection. It starts off with the shortest of the three movies entitled "House and home" which could fit into any horror anthology. The plot is paper-thin and revolves around a twisted rich and religious couple that lures homeless girls in for their sick pleasure but obviously messed with the wrong girl here. Honestly, this short is not too special... at first the couples dysfunctionality and the hints on their elitist self-conception seemed interesting (with the twist ending it could serve as a kind of class war metaphor) but it just leads nowhere. What still keeps this interesting is the great visuals and the performance of the actress playing the homeless girl. The shots of her on the bed are unmatched throughout the rest of the movie. Second is a pretty strange short about Nazi Doctor experiments, a drug made from the semen harvested from a poor human lab rat fed with human kidneys and a junkie prostitute trying a rehab on the new drug and regretting it. This one is rather on the gritty side visually, throws in some esoteric elements and hints on the connection of all characters involved and how the drug makes the users see the truth when being touched. Its driven by the rather sick central idea and the images of the human lab rat but ultimately falls apart with a "twist" ending that make no sense at all and ruined the whole thing for me because there's unconnected dots all over the place. The sexual element in this story feels squeezed into the plot for the sake of it, so the whole story feels forced and fake and definitely is the weakest link in this 3-part-chain. Third off is Simon Rumleys bit entitled "Bitch". This one is a rather bleak drama about sexual perversion, power play and dependency. Dogs play a dominant role in the plot, so the title has some irony to it. The look of this part is also on the gritty side, playing a lot with tints which are overused but work well in some key scenes. Like "Red, white and blue" this is rather a character study culminating in a revenge that ends with no winners at all. Definitely the best of all three with a great and high impact finale that benefits from the perfect choice of music. Usually these anthology movies fall apart but despite some flaws I can sure recommend it for Rumleys bit as well as for the great cinematography and acting of the first "House and Home" part. So check it out if you are into the twisted stuff where drama meets horror.
Refreshing horror
OK, this is not a GREAT movie, but I am lost with the ratings here. I assume that if you watch this film it is because you like the horror genre, and all three stories do deliver a good and fun time. I think that this is probably the aim: to entertain and amuse, and it delivers. Maybe some stories are predictable, but there is always a funny twist here and there that render them just different. The filming and acting are actually surprisingly good and my feeling was that I got what I was looking for. No more, no less. Definitely recommended to anyone into horror/gore/sex movies with a sense of humor.
Yes, finally an original idea!
I found this movie accidentally, and I am glad that I did. I try to watch all the newest horror movies when they are released. I haven't seen anything this disturbing in a long time. I LOVED it! Very sensual/erotic (little deaths relating to sex) which is a running theme in all 3 short stories. And scary in the context that it could really happen. Very original ideas. Honestly nothing I could compare any of the 3 short stories to which was refreshing. So tired of remakes and sequels. My favorite of the 3 stories was the 1st one, House and Home. Bored married couple trying to spice up their sex life. The hubby picks up homeless women and brings them home for a bit of fun. However, when they bring home Sorrow (yes that is her name), their night of fun turns into a sad event. The 2nd story, Mutant Tool, was a bit sad to me. But seriously sick and twisted. Great original story idea. Won't give it away. I will say though...that was one of the biggest "tools" I have ever seen! And finally the 3rd story, Bitch, was about a sadist woman and her masochist boyfriend. Whom she treated worse than a dog. However, every dog has it's day and he gets his in the end. No really, she straps one on and gives it to him! But seriously, he bites her in the ass in the end. Overall, great movie! Great for a new horror movie slut like myself! Not so great for someone with a weak stomach. Bravo for original ideas!
Where did this little gem spring from?
I've always liked horror compendiums going back to the glory days of Vault of Horror or even Dr Terror's House of Horrors, so I snapped this up when I saw it. I'd never heard of this before and presumed it was some low-budget American movie but it's actually British. Unlike the aforementioned movies, there doesn't seem to be any connection between the three stories. Well other than that they are loaded with sex and gore. People in posts I've read seem to dislike the first two stories. The first is basically *spoilers I guess as I'm about to discuss the storyline* about a twisted posh couple who get their kicks drugging and abusing homeless girls. The ending is pretty left-field but what made it for me was the nasty, aggressive wife. The actress clearly relished the part and she was a joy to watch. And I think that's a point I should make - the acting throughout is pretty impressive without exception. And that really is saying something. Especially as the only guy I recognised was an actor in the second story, which is a genuinely bizarre tale, where it's never entirely clear what's going on. And I mean that in a positive way - it's genuinely unsettling. The third tale - Bitch - has dark s and m-y themes running through it - come to think of it all three tales have people being tied up. Anyway, don't want to give anything else away. Check this out - it's an undiscovered treat.
