36 pasos/36 Steps (2006)

Summary: 6 girls are wearing bikinis, swimming in the pool, and just frolicking along with each other in happiness. Of course the fact they're being held against their will has nothing to do with, or does it? These ladies can't leave and anything that keeps them from showing happiness, will get them killed. And to think a mere 36 steps away is a car and the road to freedom. Can anyone make it?           Overall: I went into the movie having no idea what this was about and after the few moments, I wondered how soon the film would simply devolve into cinemax fare. But nooooooooo. This film just gets warmed up as a mean 300 lb. man shows up ready to kill anyone who isn't having fun. And he's serious about it. The ladies were great but the plot was better. All along you just aren't sure who's real, who isn't, and frankly why they're even locked up. Once the plot reveals itself, you realize how in depth this got. It's a good film. Do go get this film. Yeah the animated sequences are kinda silly but the scenes that allow us to see how the girls get caught and how they are "submitted into happiness" are so impressive and foreboding.
