Year: 2009
Director: Oliver Blackburn
Plot: A luxurious yacht floating in the Mediterranean serves as the unlikely setting for this tightly wound horror-thriller concerning three vacationing ladies whose carefree vacation morphs into a picturesque nightmare over the grueling course of one terrifying night at sea. It began as a fun night out on the town, but after meeting three charming locals at a nearby club, the gorgeous vacationers made the fateful mistake of joining the men for a hedonistic party at sea. Unwisely climbing aboard the borrowed yacht with the libidinous strangers as the sexual tension becomes palpable, the girls realize too little too late that their most recent misstep could very well be their last after a freak accident claims the life of one, and the argument over how to handle the situation leads to a vicious struggle for survival. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: Olly Blackburn’s sexy thriller Donkey Punch premiered at Sundance earlier this year, and we caught it as part of Fantastic Fest, where it was paired with a “Hipsters Overboard!” Donkey Punch Boat Party on Town Lake in Austin, which sadly did not involve the actually tossing overboard of any hipsters. Austin has tight jean, rakish-angle hat-wearing party rats coming out of the woodwork, and it probably would have been a benefit if some had slipped into the dark water, never to be seen again. The film is what you would get if you mashed Dead Calm and Open Water 2 together and sprinkled it liberally with heavy doses of ecstasy and trance club music. I know that it probably doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in a review when you reference Open Water 2: Adrift in the second paragraph, but that film should have had a title of its own and not been a sequel, because it’s not a bad Saturday afternoon thriller itself. Plus, it also involves a gaggle of young hipsters who shouldn’t be out on a luxury yacht. The plot of the film is fairly basic: three London girls visiting Mallorca on vacation meet up with three boys in town who crew on a yacht. Before long, they’re all out partying on the yacht, now with the addition of a 4th boy who was keeping an eye on the boat. Liberal amounts of drugs, alcohol and music lead to storytelling, where we all find out what a “donkey punch” is, and then, of course, to some donkey punching. It’s fairly graphic orgy-style sex, which is why the film landed an NC-17 rating for the States. Of course, the young and impressionable brother decides that he needs to impress, and he dishes out a donkey punch. This doesn’t really have the same desired result as the urban legend, and it results in one very dead blonde partygirl. The rest of the film concerns the boys trying to decide what to do about the situation. When they decide to dump the dead body overboard and say she fell off while drunk, the other two girls don’t take it too well. Suffice it to say there’s plenty of screaming, pleading, bleeding, and dying. While the film doesn’t feel like a groundbreaking new indie or cinematic breakthrough, what’s impressive is that Blackburn manages to make this feel like an extremely expensive film, even though the budget was only a million pounds. The actors, pretty much unknown to American audiences, all give solid performances, although Tom Burke stands out among them as the antagonizing Bluey. The film looks gorgeous and has an ambient moody score that is reminiscent of Michael Mann’s Heat. Blackburn has only directed three small films and an episode of a television series in the UK, however Donkey Punch manages to feel like a slickly produced studio movie with at least ten times the budget. If you’re in the mood for a Shallow Grave-esque thriller with a bit more sex and drugs, then you’ll probably want to check out this movie. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t give rise to Dirty Sanchez: The Movie. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Fantastic Fest announced their film awards late last night, even through we’ve still got three more days of movie watching and alcohol drinking to go. As expected, The Good, The Bad and The Weird took the Audience Award, although JCVD took third place in that category, which continues to baffle me. The much buzzed about Let The Right One In was named best horror film over Donkey Punch and Acolytes, and the Danish film How To Get Rid Of The Others took top award in the Fantastic Features category with Cargo 200 and Ex Drummer in second and third place. Thankfully they gave the wacky and fun Santos a special award in that category. We’ll have a lot more to say about these films and much more soon, so keep checking back for more festival information and news throughout the week. Heck, I’ve even enjoyed seeing Conquest of the Planet of the Apes at this thing. The complete awards listings can be found after the break. Animated Shorts: First Place: Bernie’s Doll Second Place: Muto Third Place: Violeta Special Jury Award for Technical Merit: Facts In The Case Of Mr. Hollow Fantastic Shorts: First Place: The Object Second Place: Spandex Man Third Place: Stagman Special Jury Award for Visual Invention: Rojo Red Horror Shorts: First Place: Electric Fence Second Place:. I Love Sarah Jane Third Place: El Senor Puppe Special Jury Award for sheer enjoyability: The Horribly Slow Murderer With The Extremely Inefficient Weapon Fantastic Features: First Place: HOW TO GET RID OF THE OTHERS Second Place: CARGO 200 Third Place: EX DRUMMER Special Jury Award for originality and vision: SANTOS Horror Features: First Place: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN Second Place: ACOLYTES Third Place: DONKEY PUNCH Special Jury Award for most politically incorrect gore: FEAST 2 Special Jury Award for best use of latex: JACK BROOKS MONSTER SLAYER Audience Award: First Place: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD Second Place: CHOCOLATE Third Place: JCVD AMD Fantastic Fest Online: Best Feature Film: SOUTH OF HEAVEN Best Short Film: TREEVENGE AMD Next Wave: First Place: TOKYO GORE POLICE Second Place: DEADGIRL Third Place: LE CREME Originally posted on:SpoutBlog
