Gahhhhd. Fuck.

*spoilers*
Okay, this film is about some people vacationing in Brazil, the bus they're travelling in crashes, they get lost, and somehow end up as victims of an organ harvesting racket. While the gore is minimal for this genre of film, there is one scene where a beautiful young woman gets sliced open and has her organs 'harvested'. While she's awake and feebly protesting it. (she's drugged) I've seen some fucked up shit in movies, but this really disturbed me.
*end spoilers*

This was a pretty horrible movie, but it made me feel very uncomfortable (which, for a bad movie, is impressive, I guess) I sat and stared at the screen for a few minutes when it was over, thinking to myself "There's no fucking way this shit could ever happen in real life".

So of course I had to google 'illegal organ harvesting', and apparently in China... well, read it for yourself.

Definitely not a feel-good movie, and I didn't really even want to see it in the first place, but I did, and I give it a C.

Just saw this title whilst looking for a Tropical Thunder thread.

It's been a while, but YES, the scene with the girl (spoiler in white)having her organs taken was nucking futs!

It was a lot like Hostel except a different part of the world and a different way of fucking with Americans. :wink:

It was ok for a thrill, but nothing to write home aboooot.

A friend of mine wrote a paper about the persecution of Falun Gong last year. It really sucks that stuff like that actually happens.
