There's physical torture porn like Saw & Hostel and then there's psychological torture porn like Craig Zobel's Compliance. The story, inspired by true events, follows a prank phone call to a fast food joint that results in the sexual assault of an employee.
Aided by some believable performances, the film digs under your skin and more or less entices you to scream at the screen as the stupidity of these people becomes worse and worse. Ann Dowd is particularly great as the naive restaurant manager that you just want to reach out and slap some sense into her. The film is unique, frustrating and repulsive which is guaranteed to start many a conversation afterwards.
