good back-story, and good acting

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I have to say I sort of enjoyed the first "Petite Mort" movie a bit from the guilty pleasure standpoint. This sequel here is roughly 10 minutes longer, but still stays considerably under the 90-minute-mark. For me, it could have never been made. The way, in which the protagonists are breaking the fourth wall is embarrassing and same goes for the action. There is no character in here who is half as entertaining as Madame. They got one of the actresses back who played her girls and there are more men in this video than in the first, but none of it works. In one scene a character insults (and tortures) homosexuals while wearing female clothes himself. And as if the main characters realize that this film is lacking Manoush's character so much, the male protagonist wants to be Madame so badly that he transforms more and more into a woman and, in the end, cuts off his genitals in a scene that is truly painful to watch. Torture porn of the worst kind. Please stay away.

And we do enter the house of La Petite Mort again. But this time it's not actually a story but it's edited like it should be a mockumentary. In the beginning it do works when the girls are looking straight into the camera and are inviting you to watch them, torturing people for money. So it's clear that this is a typical German torture porn. Even as the genre is over and done still Germany is going on with the genre. Seen the first one I do know that the director Marcem Waltz isn't afraid to show gore and nudity. And that's exactly what we do get here. on part of the story there isn't really any well maybe the one about Monsieur Matheo Maximè (Mika Metz) who has difficulties with his body. Toward the end of the flick his problem will be solved somehow.From the beginning you know that this flick is full of girls in latex and sexy outfits. I must say that Micaela Schäfer (Jade Maxime) really has a beautiful pair, hope they are the real stuff for her. She do walk around constantly bear breasted. Only one victim (a girl) is seen full frontal so some may be shocked by seeing it and seeing what they are doing to her.The flick itself is in fact what the title says, a compilation of nasty tapes. Some do work rather good but some are boring like for example the electrocution which is full of editing on some stupid techno music. It just takes too long. But overall the torture do work and it's indeed gory as hell here and there.It works on part of the effects but it's the story they are trying to tell that doesn't work. And it doesn't need a story at all. I can say if you are not used to watch torture porn that this one surely will make you to turn away here and there. Can't really say that it is a excellent flick due some parts mentioned but it surely is worth picking up.Gore 3/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 3?5/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

Marcel Walz's "La Petite Mort 2: Nasty Tapes" is a sequel to his 2009 film "La Petite Mort." Some filmmaker shy away from the "torture porn" categorization, but Walz's film wears it like a badge of honor. The film follows the working of "La Maison de la Petite Mort", a Hostel-like place where people can pay to either watch someone get tortured to death or can do it themselves. They can also do it over the internet, if they don't want to travel to Germany. The "plot" is this:1. Two women come on and tell us we're going to see 80 minutes of torture. 2. We see 80 minutes of torture. 3. The two women come back on and say they hope we enjoyed watching 80 minutes of torture. 4. The movie ends.That's pretty much the movie, guys. The tortures are extremely sick and gruesome (the ones done to the males, anyway) and are interspersed with the staff going about their regular business. Some of the scenes are intended to have some black humor, although I'm not sure how humorous some would find them.As with most torture-porn flicks, the there are more male victims and the men get it worse than the women, although this film is extreme in that regard. There are 14 victims, and a whopping 11 of them are men. The men get parts of them cut off, stabbed, sewn up, shocked, and worse while they scream and it's all shown in graphic detail. The three women? One is stabbed, one is given general anesthesia rendering her completely unconscious so she might as well have been already dead during her scene, and the third one is killed non-violently in a makeshift gas chamber while the killers pretend to be Nazis and the scene is filmed silently with WW2 music playing (there is a title card that reads, "Cough cough" while she is in the makeshift chamber -- this whole scene is an apparent example of the film's "humor")So basically, if you get off watching men get tortured, you should seek out this flick. It really seems that that is the audience they're trying to reach. I guess if you are also a die-hard torture porn fan who wants to see how far the German extreme cinema can take this genre, you might also want to check it out. Hard to recommend it to anyone else.
