Hora

I gave myself a DVD for christmas, the grindhouse-tribute, rape-revenge film "Hora" ("Whore" in Norwegian) directed, written and produced by Reinert Kiil, starring porn actress Isabel Vibe. I always considered myself really tough when it comes to gory-stuff, but concerning the whole rape-porn aspect, I must say that I was not at all prepared. The plot is pretty simple; girl takes a break from city-life by going to a house in the country, girl gets raped by village-freaks, girl wakes up and takes revenge. This film is a pretty low-budget flick but it never ceases to frighten and disgust you. The main character "Rikke/Hora" is not only gorgeous but also really scary. The soundtrack is amazing, it is difficult to explain but the most markedly parts of the soundtrack would be a jolly norwegian christian pop song and several gloomy electronica pieces, as far as I recall. Well done Mr. Kiil, I am now a fan!
