Two men find themselves chained up in a raunchy underground bathroom with a dead body in a pool of blood between them. They have no idea how they got there. The only things they have are a tape from the maniac who put them there and a saw which will not cut their chains but will serve to cut off a limb if they really, really want to free themselves.

  • Death is a shortcut (Denmark)
  • Let the games begin!
