Donkey Punch abides by all the 'rules' but suffers all the same cliques. Its riskiness is really not that shocking and its idea is really not that original. It steals from a couple of classics (Dead Calm being the main one) but it mainly rips off other bad horror films. This film...( read more)

Well...It's a movie about a donkey punch gone wrong. But can a donkey punch go right? Pretty much a subject that had to be addressed, but at the same time, not enough to make a movie about. That's why they had to have a lot of people killing each other to make a good story. I...( read more)

Aside from surprisingly graphic nudity and the entitled act, this is a fairly predictable suspense thriller, solid if unexciting.

After finding out what a Donkey Punch was before the film i never wanted to watch it but my friends kept on telling me that it wasn't so bad in the film so i gave in and watched it. They were right and it isn't so bad in the film. It actually had quite a decent plot too.

A lot better than I thought it was going to be. I went into watching this film pessimistic of how much I would enjoy it. However I was relatively surprised. It had good moments of tensions and also a good amount of gore for a horror, but not too much as some horrors can tend to h...( read more)

I mean, come on, it revolves around a Donkey Punch gone wrong. It couldn't be THAT bad.
Critic Reviews
Anyone looking for a stoned and bikinied update of L'Avventura, Purple Noon, Dead Calm, or other boat-bound chillers will have to settle for The Real World: Death Yacht. full review
British thriller about seven college-age Britons in Spain who come together for an afternoon of flirting and wind up having a night of sex, paranoia and murder full review
The ending is never much in doubt. Getting to it, however, involves a slightly better-than-usual assortment of cheap, harrowing thrills. full review
It's got enough formulaic flair to make it a guilty-pleasure cousin of seaborne nailbiters Knife in the Water and Dead Calm. full review
nothing could be as good as the film's title full review
The claustrophobic open-water setting might have worked but for the uncomfortably explicit sex scene and flashy gore. In fact, this predictable film wouldn't be effective anywhere outside a DARE program. full review
What should've been a rowdy suspense piece that basks in the smirking idiocy of sexual myths and playground bedroom boasting is actually a toothless horror throwaway made on the cheap and elongated fa... full review
Good little calling-card movie from a first-time feature director: a violent psychological study of seven randy young Brits on a borrowed yacht, an accidental death during rough sex, and the fallout t... full review
So aware of genre conventions, manipulations, and symbolism that it functions more like an intellectualized primer than an actual terrifying experience. full review
