The Seasoning House - 2012 - 6/10

1996, Balkan Wars, Angel is seized after her family is murdered.
Brought to a wooded brothel, her disfigured face means she will not be appealing.
Viktor, proprietor of the house, uses her as helpmate, drugging captive females, tidying aftermaths.
Most of the clients are extraordinarily violent.
Unflinching narrative of toxic behavior, with excellent use of claustrophobic spaces.
Horrific thriller that gnaws and churns, never bothering with clichéd formula.
