An boozer detective with a bullet wound is found on the doorstep of a mother and daughter's manor where he is subjected to torture and sexual dominance. The purpose lies in the fact that the detective is looking for a woman whom the psychotic mother-daughter duo killed and buried in the garden. Despite the their incestuous infatuation with one another, the daughter begins a seductive role play with the captive man, taking on the identity of the dead woman which sparks animosity among the relatives until the shit, undoubtedly, hits the fan...
Directed by Greek film maker Nikos Nikolaidis, "Singapore Sling" initiates an irregular composite of surrealism, fetishism, comedy, and horror within a bleak and claustrophobic milieu. The element of isolation is done very well and add to the unique, foreboding charm the movie ignited almost immediately.
The two female leads a terrifically unlikable and oddly attractive in their self-degradation, schizophrenia, and sexually deviant antics. For some reason, I found the sea food dinner scene troubling. I can't rightly explain it, but I truly hated these women after that part.
You can expect pretty much everything from "Singapore Sling", such as puking on faces, pissing on people, fruit masturbation, electro-shock torture, and mummy rape (?). That said, it's not a perfect film. A little slow at times, but otherwise it comes with a recommendation. Not for everyone and lovers of hardcore 'sleaze' and brutality may be a tad disappointed, but if you dig fruitful, different cinema than give it a look...
