Stoic is not your traditional horror movie.\u00a0 Based on the story, while it is more drama than anything, the things that happen are more brutal than some horror films, so I felt that it belonged.\u00a0 I’m going to just spoil this whole film, and if you want to avoid it, scroll down to the rating.<\/p>\n

SPOILERS<\/p>\n

This is a simple story about four guys in prison: Mitch, Harry (Edward Furlong), Peter, and Jack.\u00a0 It all starts with these guys playing cards.\u00a0 Mitch is winning and says he will put up some cigarettes but the loser has to eat a tube of toothpaste.\u00a0 Mitch loses and he refuses to eat the toothpaste.\u00a0 This part irritated me because although I can’t imagine it being the most enjoyable experience, if that was the wager, then suck it up.\u00a0 It’s not going to kill you.\u00a0 It may upset your stomach, but that’s the point.\u00a0 When Mitch continually refuses, the other 3 guys get pissed off and eventually beat him a bit and force it in him.\u00a0 Now Mitch is sick, and Peter then offers to make him a drink to help him feel better.\u00a0 It’s like saltwater and a pepper.\u00a0 Mitch tries to drink it due to threats, but he can’t finish it.\u00a0 So Peter then gives him a cup with piss and shit remnants, I guess, and Mitch tries, but can’t drink it.\u00a0 This enrages Jack who insists that Mitch eats his own vomit.\u00a0 Mitch tries, but can’t do well, as expected.\u00a0 Later on, things have calmed down a bit and Mitch hits the button to call the guards for help, but the guys catch him and tell the guards\u00a0that everything is fine.\u00a0 Seriously, the guards never checked on the situation.\u00a0 Mitch has now truly enraged the guys.\u00a0 From here, he is forced to drink piss, get fucked in the ass, then sodomized by a mop handle, and then has that handle placed in his mouth.\u00a0 The guys decide that they are fucked if the guards find out so they tell Mitch that he’s going to commit suicide.\u00a0 So they set it up and hang Mitch.\u00a0 The film is partly seeing the action and part of it is the three guys explaining what happened and their side of things.<\/p>\n

END SPOILERS<\/p>\n

The acting is pretty good here.\u00a0 The whole experience is apparently based on a true life experience, which is all the more horrifying.\u00a0 This film is a series of one uncomfortable moment followed by another.\u00a0 Mitch was apparently a good dude and only serving 6 months for vagrancy and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n

I liked how this was filmed and presented.\u00a0 It was just horrific enough without going too extreme, in the send that it could have gone further with the imagery.\u00a0 I don’t recommend this for anybody who can’t handle extreme violence that feels real.\u00a0 This isn’t like Jason Voorhees type violence, this feels much more real and intimate.\u00a0 Knowing that something like this happened if very disturbing.\u00a0 This is also a great reason why 4 people shouldn’t share the same cell.<\/p>\n

Rating: 4.9 – This film may deserve higher, but because I would never watch this again, I can’t give it about a 5.\u00a0 If you are a sick person like myself, the curiosity factor will be in play.\u00a0 It delivers in that regard.\u00a0 This is not a film to watch with someone else, in my opinion.<\/p>\n
