The Seasoning House - where young girls are prostituted to the military. An orphaned deaf mute is enslaved to care for them. She moves between the walls and crawlspaces, planning her escape. Planning her ingenious and brutal revenge.
This is a deeply unpleasant subject matter and Hyett's handling of it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
Debut director Paul Hyett earned his reputation as a prosthetics wiz on films like The Descent and The Woman in Black; the human monsters he gives us here might as well be made out of cardboard.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
