OMG! Thats all I can say about this short! simple story, well executed... big ups to the team... Again! OMG!

This was one funny short. Great overall performance by these guys. Excellent acting from 'Bobby' character, loved the ending.

Totally R18. Started off well with the swimming through the air effects but what was to come was unnecessary and then tailed off without much story.

One thing that was missing through out most of this heat was shock value! Ladies oh ladies sure as hell brought the shock value! good camera work... well editted... story was cracked!

Old fashioned revenge; A hint of Tarantino; Shock value, well played.

Brilliantly simple revenge movie - true to the genre, great use of elements and well shot. A little predictable, but that's hard to avoid with an homage, and didn't detract from the film.

Technically great & clear storyline, but I just wanted 'that' scene to end!

Kill therapist was pretty predictable after the first shock of the film. Why we have so much sexual content this year is a bit beyond me, but I really thought that the drugged anal raping in this film was just a bit much. I was definitely a bit disgusted and I guess it delivered on the shock value of that first scene. But after that, there was nothing there. It was a predictable revenge ending, where he follows the guy home one day and kills him, nothing special, nothing overly brilliant, except for a few funny freeze-frame captions, and I was somewhat disappointed. Ladies oh Ladies obviously has a very slick production crew and the film was beautifully shot, but they really needed to think past that initial shock and make a film with a bit of originality to it. The acting was good, cinematography was nice, lines were fine, but overall it was just a bit meh.

After watching this short I needed to clear my head of "that scene" and ended up at a bar with some 48hours friends, later that evening I found myself in a strange apartment in Parnell that looked somewhat familiar when I was asked if I wanted a drink, I asked "What have you got?" and looked at the strange lobsided glass which was placed on the kitchen bench - I looked up at Bobby^h^h^h^h^hMorgan and the flashback began. "That Scene" as someone else quaintly put it flooded my mind and I needed to sit down. The short from Ladies oh Ladies, visceral and over the top is burned in behind my eyes for ever now and whilst may not have been the high, or low point of the evening - its definitely the MEMORABLE point of the evening. "That scene" was long and painful to watch, it made me cringe and want to run home to mommy. It wasn't graphic, or showy, and was handled more delicately than the events depicted, but its this same cringe worthy disgust that makes me like this short - it made me uncomfortable, but I didn't dislike it for faulty sound, terrible CGi, or bad dialog. Big props for this - maybe I'm a worthy human afterall?

One word to describe this gem: risque. Disturbing but well produced and acted. Kudos for a job well done. Highly entertaining but I can understand that it is not for everyone's taste. May develop a cult following.

I'm not sure if there was any subtext that 'an auction site' is raping its customers but its certainly a cautionary tale about picking goods up. There wasn't much to the story - a guy rapes a guy he's just drugged who then comes back to exact his revenge. It certainly stuck to its revenge genre and it definitely shocked a number of the audience but I thought it went the obvious easy way with the ending. Rather than a more full on revenge sequence - think law abiding citizen - where there is an elaborate plan to make him suffer it goes for a simple option. No doubt this will get a top number of views as everyone has to check out the scene for themselves. Props to the actors for doing it tastefully but I thought there could have been more to this film.

Good use of the line of dialogue and reasonably high production values but absolutely awful film for blatant, gratuitous and unneccesarily long rape scene. Would everyone have been laughing if it was a child that played the victim? Rape isn't funny.

Anna, I made this film, it's a Revenge movie. Rape-Revenge is a noted sub-genre, see Jodie Foster's The Brave One, Gaspar Noé's Irréversible, and others. These aren't meant to be easy films to watch. Frankly, if you only want to see RomComs, then don't go to 48hours heats. Regarding Irréversible, you'll also note 'that scene' is something of an homage, shot from a similar angle, but not nearly as long (the attack in Irréversible is over 10 minutes long, and extremely violent, and one of the most difficult things I've ever seen in any film). The angle means it's really not nearly as gratuitous as people's memories lead them to believe. (There are also much more comfortable references to Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and The Big Lebowski.) Exactly what is it that made you think we were treating rape as funny? If you thought we positioned this as a comedy you have a problem. We played it straight, and we treated it seriously - as the shocked audience should have shown you.

Gratuitous and unnecessary. It served no purpose. It had no stance or opinion - it was just rape for rape's sake. It wasn't in the slightest bit entertaining. Comparing your movie with Irreversible??? In your dreams, buddy. The story had nothing to it other than being an excuse for the rape scene to exist. I'm not offended by it, I just think it's a bit pathetic.

Totally R18. Started off well with the swimming through the air effects but what was to come was unnecessary and then tailed off without much story.
