I watched a movie last night that made me sick to my stomach. The entire second half of the film is essentially one long torture sequence. I had such a reaction to this movie. I felt something deep within my stomach.
I don't speak of a horror movie though, I speak of Babette's Feast. I finally sat down to watch this last night (it had been sitting on my DVD player for a week now) and OMG! It was tortuous. How could they make this movie and expect people to just sit there WITH NO FOOD! I wanted an eight-coarse meal like the one in the movie.
Great film though. B+

I need to see Hunger Torture . it seems to be a good movie
If we compare hunger torture with water torture, i think that water torture is way way worse for anybody.
