Trigger warning!

Warning: Spoilers
I started watching this movie and while the acting was excellent, despite other commenters saying the scenes weren't too graphic, the first two sex scenes were incredibly graphic in the sexual acts they forced the girls to do. The first was an SM scene where both girls were hanging handcuffed and one was whipped, the other a girl was forced to give oral sex, bit the man's penis off and ran with blood all over her face. Did they show the actual whipping or biting, no but it upset me so much, I turned it off. Now I am not squeamish about pornography nor am I naive about sexual violence but I couldn't imagine any other scenes they could have done that would have been so vile to teenage girls. They also drug the girls, keep them in trailers in their underwear and constantly threaten them with "cutting off their legs" or hurting their families. This was all in the first 30 minutes so it's like being hit over the head with a sledge hammer over and over. You are forced to feel every emotion these girls are going through, mainly just constant horror and fear of what they will have to do next.

Now I absolutely agree a movie on sexual slaves is meant to show what really happens so I won't fault them. I just want people to know if you have been a victim of sexual violence in any way, it may be too much for you.
