Watch Singapore Sling For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I think it would only be fair to say that Singapore Sling is more than a little bit on the weird side of the cinematic spectrum. The story in this Greek oddity takes place over the course of one stormy night. A psychotic mother and daughter, who live in a remote villa, imprison a man whom they christen Singapore Sling. Much strangeness follows.This has to be described as a true one off. In some ways this may very well be a good thing, as this is a movie with some content elements that can charitably be described as somewhat unpleasant. But it's no ordinary exploitation shockfest; it's an experimental art film as well. For starters, its shot in black and white and it's full of strange dialogues, deeply unusual characters, visual invention, genre clashing and an absolute barrow load of transgressive material. Consequently, it's very hard to categorise. It one solely recommended for those with a taste for the bizarre. It recalls film-noir, with its hard-boiled voice-overs from the main character – except this is delivered in Greek, while the mother and daughter speak exclusively in English; ordinarily details like these would raise questions but in this case it just seems par for the course. This man, Singapore Sling, pursues an ex-lover who vanished after visiting these women; her name is Laura which is a nod the 1944 film-noir…I think.But all this film-noir malarkey is juxtaposed with a great deal of extreme material; like two completely differing film genres colliding at random. To that end we have lots of sexual torture and humiliation, which includes, of all things, graphic urination, vomiting and…masturbation with fruit. If you think any of its erotic then good luck to you but I think it's only fair to say that this sort of stuff will titillate an extremely small demographic. I personally found a lot of what I encountered in here pretty repulsive to be perfectly honest but the fact is that this is a well-made and acted film, while its sheer originality was impressive. So it does have an impact. Utterly strange and wilfully different, Singapore Sling is a movie that should be approached with some caution but its most likely not going to resemble anything else you've ever seen before. Whether or not that's a good thing I will leave you to be the judge of.

How to properly review a film like this is something that has bewildered many people on here. Could you simply explain the story (as you believe it to be) or do you express your feelings after having seen it? Perhaps you must see this movie 50 times before you can properly describe it. Maybe 100? I'm not sure I can still perform this task after seeing this film so many times. Every time I watch it, new questions come up, new meanings get revealed, new disturbed beauty shines through. This film is by far and above one of the most prized cinematic gems I have in my collection and I give it all the attention it deserves.Nikos Nikolaidis certainly shows amazing talent by creating a film such as this with so little. One house, three actors and not heavy on the dialogue, this film is about as powerful as they come. But here's the catch, it's still a mystery! Who killed Laura? Who is Laura? Who is Singapore Sling? Where did he come from? What happened to father? Was the daughter even really the daughter????? I think the story runs deep, and people seem to just see what's up on the screen and take it at face value. Notice the lack of names? Notice the use of the Greek language by only Singapore Sling? Why does the daughter not understand French if her mother speaks it regularly? Perhaps you saw this movie and loved it, and perhaps you have forgotten it in the depths of your memory. Perhaps you should seek it out and watch it a few more times.I could go on for days about the subtle nuances and absolutely amazing musical score (that still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it). I could go on about how this film has actually affected (in a good way) my love life (not in the way you think, sickos). I could go on forever about what I think this story portrays, but perhaps it is the mystery that makes this film so endearing. As sick as it is, and as hard as some parts are to watch, it is something that will sit with you for a long time. So, don't just look at the disturbed imagery as it is, look at the characters and listen to the dialogue. Perhaps this is a tale that is beyond a simple mystery and maybe it's a sick joke on all of us. Perhaps it's just Nikos Nikolaidis blowing his proverbial genius load on to all of us. Any way you look at it, it's something that was almost lost to the complete underground but has made a small comeback."Forget her, forget her Singapore Sling"

A gun-shot gumshoe stumbles upon a secluded villa inhabited by a certifiably insane, incestuous, sadomasochistic mother-daughter couple. The daughter straps him down and administers high electric voltage through his forehead, while the mother rides his convulsing pelvis and then proceeds to cool him down with a golden shower. Then things get weird...I won't give you a play by play of this sick and twisted piece of European cinema. If you're simply interested in seeing some of the most extreme S&M stuff ever put on cinema, then by all means see it. However, if you're looking for a little bit more than that, then you might be left wondering "what was the point of all this?" Interesting themes are developed in this film, such as the omnipresence of the absentee father who is the root cause of the womens' insanity, the gumshoe's Pygmalion-like stubborn attempt to "rescue" the girl from her predicament, the mother-daughter rivalry with the inevitable matricide, death as liberation from the misery of life. But none of these themes are adequately fleshed out, making the plot feel disjointed and incomplete.Some of the scenes in Singapore Sling would make Marquis de Sade proud, but Nikolaidis' storytelling would make Pasolini wince. Still, the movie is competently directed and photographed and overall is worth a look. Just don't eat anything before you watch it. You'll thank me later.

A beautiful, sexually charged, noirish horror pic from Greek director Nikos Nikolaidis. A mother and daughter, whose modus operandi has parallels with the duo in Shindo's "Onibaba", trick and sexually toy with various gentlemen until Singapore Sling, looking for his lost love, arrives on their scene and unconsciously fractures the mother-daughter dynamic. The two enjoy a very hot sexual relationship that is vividly but not graphically depicted. Other sexual episodes are depicted in delicious detail and the film does not hesitate to go totally hardcore when necessary. For mine, this is an amazingly erotic film that depicts sexual desire as a form of raw anarchy. Various fetishes such as vomiting, urination, sado-masochism and necrophilia are presented honestly and without judgment. Stylistically, the film has a strong, theatrical quality, and it is interesting how Nikolaidis has the actors address the camera at various intervals. The stand-out performance is that of the insane daughter, played by the extraordinary and outlandishly sexy Michele Valley. Panos Thanassoulis, as Sling, has virtually no dialog, but makes his mark in a pivotal but surprisingly neutral role. Black and white cinematography by Aris Stavrou is stunning, as is the splendidly rich production. "Singapore Sling" is an original in every sense of the word and is one of the most accomplished horror films of the modern era.
