February 25, 2012Not bad, but not great. Has couple of good "holy crap did that just happen?!" moments, but a few of those does not a good movie make.

October 14, 2010I actually thought that this was pretty good. At first I thought that it was just another sex movie, but that all changed about 35 min into it. I kept wondering what the heck Donkey Punch was. Well now I know. Nothing good can ever come from that move, obviously. I thought that t... read more

April 26, 2010The first half is actually really good and pretty original, but the second half completely ruins the movie and shows how little thought was put into constructing a suspense thriller. The acting was okay at times, but when things got dramatic and serious the performances fell apar... read more

October 2, 2009Donkey Punch abides by all the 'rules' but suffers all the same cliques. Its riskiness is really not that shocking and its idea is really not that original. It steals from a couple of classics (Dead Calm being the main one) but it mainly rips off other bad horror films. This film... read more

July 6, 2009Well...It's a movie about a donkey punch gone wrong. But can a donkey punch go right? Pretty much a subject that had to be addressed, but at the same time, not enough to make a movie about. That's why they had to have a lot of people killing each other to make a good story. I... read more

May 22, 2009Severely underrated low budget English horror/thriller! Taking a very modern turn on the horror theme and tackling some very taboo ideas as a group of youngsters decide to live it up on holiday losing all their inhibitions as they drink, take drugs and have sex. During which a se... read more

April 11, 2009Aside from surprisingly graphic nudity and the entitled act, this is a fairly predictable suspense thriller, solid if unexciting.

April 11, 2009Stop me if you've heard this one before...
A group of beautiful young people are vacationing in 'paradise' and partaking of various illegalities and sins of the flesh. All the obligatory characters are present: the scantily clad blonde bombshell, the brutish embodiment of machi... read more -
April 5, 2009Self consciously edgy drama with a token sex scene involving a supposedly shocking act and further novel death sequences. Sadly the characters are so annoying you don't care about their fates anyway,

February 24, 2009Donkey Punch is a movie about the dangers of casual intercourse with foreign strangers, drug use, and deviant sex acts. Apparently, the combination of these three things leads to multiple deaths in the name of self-preservation.
There are copious amount of sex and nudity in the ... read more

Unfortunately, Donkey Punch delivers a donkey punch of its own. Full Review

Anyone looking for a stoned and bikinied update of L'Avventura, Purple Noon, Dead Calm, or other boat-bound chillers will have to settle for The Real World: Death Yacht. Full Review

Watching, it's easy to feel a little stranded, too. Full Review

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
It's got enough formulaic flair to make it a guilty-pleasure cousin of seaborne nailbiters Knife in the Water and Dead Calm. Full Review

Will anyone finally escape this floating slaughterhouse? Do you even care? Full Review

Kate Ward, Entertainment Weekly
The claustrophobic open-water setting might have worked but for the uncomfortably explicit sex scene and flashy gore. In fact, this predictable film wouldn't be effective anywhere outside a DARE program. Full Review

Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
The movie becomes a Knife in the Water for the era of Ugly Briton, package tour imperialism. Full Review
