having watched all the august underground and guinea pig films i did not think there was anything left to shock me, boy was i wrong! scrapbook holds nothing back and throws extreme violence and sadistic torture in your face, this is not a film in which you can sit and enjoy, but its more of an endurance test, both the acting and the on screen violence is very realistic and deeply disturbing, not once does this film let up, but keeps you watching to see if the girl actually escapes, be warned this film is in the same taste as the august underground series and if easily offended by horrific sexualised violence then i would not bother purchasing this but if you want to see how far a movie can actually go then i would recommend this.
Format:DVD
The film takes the viewer on a no holds barred journey into the twisted and disturbed mind of a killer. It is very extreme in portraying just how ill the kidnapers mind is. I am commenting on the US release here not the uk version which is cut to shreads by some 15 minutes !

Not so outrageous but more...bland, this attempt at shock seems rather sophomoric and immature, like a frustrated filmmaker trying desperately to get some attention. It comes across as being more of a vehicle of publicity for the makers rather than someone making a film because they love the medium and have a story to tell.
Not at all stylistic or intelligent as say, 'Henry' or 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', this film is rather ephemeral and I would be extremely cautious of anyone who tells you they have seen this film more than once, and run in the opposite direction from anyone who tells you they enjoyed it. Why? Because it's pointless and sick. A woman is kidnapped, raped and tortured, then escapes. That's it, the whole film is a woman being tortured. Now you see what I mean?
Shot entirely on digital (they were right, ANYONE can make a movie these days), and with bad lighting, this is certainly no pleasure to watch, and despite its extreme nature, the characters are badly written and very clichéd, like the sensitive side to the kidnapper, I laughed inside at the stupidity of it!
This is a very graphic film and I don't actually know anyone I would recommend it to, and its graphicness is all it has going for it. It's pointless, unwatchable (I mean, you'd have to be a sicko to want to watch it more than once, since there is no artistic value, no plot and is just 90 mins of a woman being tortured [note: this has already been done 15 yrs previous, in the guinea pig series of films]) and quite frankly, boring.

I've read a few reviews of this film and some people seem to think it's groundbreaking. It isn't, no one is interested in this film, it's too lame.
n.b. I'm commenting on the uncut European version, haven't seen the UK one so am unable to note any differences.
