Donkey Punch (2008)
6/10
Solid slow build UK thriller
15 April 2024
Donkey Punch is a British thriller film released in 2008 and its plot is set in a lone location. It starts off with the introduction to the lead women as they appear to be the typical party exploring vacation type. We notice one of the three seem to be more mature and it's noticeable as the film progresses.

The first 20 minutes or so are simply the build and set up for the main plot. It isn't exactly thrilling to this point but truly begins once the actual explicit titular act occurs. Quite a lengthy explicit scene which does last quite a few minutes as it is well shot and showcases both women greatly.

The film somewhat drags at certain points but it's entertaining enough, although not very deep. The men seem to be quite silly, especially certain scenes revolving deaths of the characters. A lot of these "accidents" could have been avoided had the characters were smarter. The film dwindles as a thriller with a rising body count. As the first person dies, we get the sense that one by one everyone will end up dying, save for the predictable one survivor in the end. In the end this film is decent enough for what it's intended on doing. Nothing too special but better than some of these reviews are saying.
