Donkey Punch Is Going To Knock Out America

Back in July, I incredulously posted a trailer for a UK movie called Donkey Punch, an indie thriller about four attractive young people experimenting with sexual practices based on time-warn frat jokes, until things go terribly awry. I couldn't believe it existed. Well it did, and predictably, it's crossing the pond and coming to America, and its makers are preparing the internet with the red band trailer:

The "Unrated Bare-Knuckle Cut," whatever that means (are gloves normally worn for donkey punches?) opens here on January 23, and it will no doubt bear some internet-hype resemblance to Snakes On A Plane.

The only thing that would make this films existence acceptable is if it's followed by a "Donkey Punch Drunk Love" trailer mash up.

I feel like i should be laughing, but instead i'm just sighing.

If they somehow make "Hot Carl" into a horror movie though, then i'll be impressed.

Some fun trivia: Donkey Punch will be distributed by the same company as Let The Right One In. So I guess American terms of trade are currently at One Awesome Swedish Vampire Movie is equal to One Totally Awful Movie Idea That May Be The Worst.

Not only that, but Donkey Punch was produced by Warp, the record label that signed Aphex Twin and Grizzly Bear. Shouldn't they be putting their British pounds to better use, like producing a feature-length film by Chris Cunningham?!
