Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

lakibuk Warning! A movie with extremely graphic content.This movie was shot in a total of 3 days. Yet it delivers a full shocking thriller experience with high artistic value. It's unbelievable! Therefore the director Marian Dora should be called a genius.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Reise nach Agatis" or "Voyage to Agatis" is a German German-language movie from 2010. It got written and directed by Marian Dora and now people who have seen perhaps some of his other stuff know what to expect here. Lots of violence and a rather absurd story and this is also what you will be getting, even if it is not as extreme as in other Dora films, at least in terms of the plot. The violence is sure there when we see people cut off nipples. Anyway, there is a relatively small cast here and all the action takes basically place on a ship. I will not mention the three names of the actors now. You can check the cast list if you want to know. They aren't famous at all. A young woman decides to join a couple on a ship and travel over the seas with them, but it's a voyage that becomes pretty horrific to her. Early on, the humiliations are only seen from the man towards the wife and he is still somewhat of a good host to the girl, but the longer the film goes the more the man is also brutal and damaging towards the girl. All in all, I would not say that this was a good film. But I must say it is also not as bad and terrible and garbage as some other stuff I have seen by Dora. There are actually some thrilling moments here that make the movie occasionally work. It probably also helped that the focus was only on so few characters and not on new character constantly joining the action. And at roughly 75 minutes, it is a movie that is half as long as some other Dora works actually and it also helps the film from dragging too much. Overall, it is only worth checking out for those who really love the filmmaker or the genre and underground/amateur aspect here. I myself do not really and that's why I give it a thumbs-down. Watch something else instead.

HumanoidOfFlesh "Voyage of Agatis" is quite influenced by "Waves of Lust" by Ruggero Deodato and it plays like Dora's own "Carribean Sunrise"(2003)made as full-length feature.Still it's pretty disturbing and transgressive shocker.In the prologue beautiful dark haired tourist is slaughtered on an empty beach.There are also oneiric images of dolls floating in the water.Rafael and Isabel are the pair of sadomasochistic lovers.Their relationship is on-the-rocks.To spice his degenerate erotic life Rafael decides to take a beautiful blonde girl named Lisa on his yacht.Lisa doesn't know that she will be abused,tortured and finally violently killed.Extreme sadism and misanthropy viewed as the form of purification.This is the main theme of "Voyage to Agatis".Still there are some picturesque views of Croatian coasts.7 knives out of 10.

Shaza123 Marian Dora is a name fast becoming one of the most controversial in extreme horror history. With his two previous movies, Cannibal and Melancholie der Engel catching some major attention, I was interested to see what he would come up with next. Now I watched this movie without subs so bare with me. We open with a pretty lady walking around a summery area, and shortly after that same pretty lady is stark naked and running for her life! We don't see why she is so terrified, but the blood and scratches on her body, combined with her panic looks as she strains to run as fast as she can, indicates that someone is chasing her. She makes it to the beach, but so does her assailant. We are from their perspective and watch this girls petrified expressions as our killer slices a knife through the skin that is her mouth, to give her a long smile. Oh yes, this is a Marian Dora flick... We cut to a man and lady, who I assume are husband and wife. They seem to be travelling for a holiday of sorts and neither seems to be happy with the other. This looks like a well needed holiday. They meet up with another lady and the three of them jump on a boat and sail away. Only, things are not what they seem, and we await some major sadistic cruelty on that boat... I gotta say, Mr Dora really isn't a fan of the human body. Or he at least enjoys butchering it. I heard somewhere that he is a surgeon and it shows! Certain shots of this movie made me very aware of the fact that we're all meat. Ready to be hacked up. What a lovely thought! Dora likes to get up close and personal with these shots of butchery. But of course this is typical of him. Still, it's enough to make hardened gore hounds cringe, as I certainly was. This is an uncomfortable movie to watch. You'll be disturbed for sure!As a contrast the score was beautiful. Really beautiful actually. In a similar vein to Melancholie der Engel but nicer. Some beautiful shots as well. I'm not sure if there is a deep message in this or if Dora was trying to say something particular, naturally is was probably lost on me since it wasn't in English. Though it's not as arty as Melancholie, and not as long either. Thank goodness! At 74 mins, it doesn't over stay its welcome. The pacing is so much better then it's predecessor, something I was very grateful for. There isn't as much animal cruelty in this one, but it does feature a rather unpleasant scene where the guy guts some sort of eel or sea creature. There's also enough sadism, rape and torture to keep most extreme fans disturbed, all the while getting them to listen to pretty music to boot. Apparently this movie was shot in less then a week and was only made on a budget of $10,000. Now that's an incredible effort! Well done Mr Dora! Even though I didn't understand a word of this movie, I gotta admit that that's impressive! Check it out if you're interested, it's definitely eye opening and disturbing for sure!
