Not quite as bloodthirsty as the current horror wave in cinema, but in the same nasty vein as "Hostel" or "Saw". Successful model Tamara is subjected to a special kind of torture in this French made-for-television movie. In order to save her walled-in roommate, she has to stuff chocolate and raw minced meat down her throat, and has to cut off her hair and eyebrows. She receives these orders via computer from one mysterious Madame Hollywood, who has devised a particularly perverted reeducation program. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this is a settling of the score with the world of glamour Bret Easton Ellis would take delight in.
