Singapore Sling is chasing after Laura, a romantic memory from his past. One night he finds himself in a mysterious villa, watching two women bury a body. He falls into their trap and, in an atmosphere of isolation and decadence, the trio act out insane pleasure games and a ritual of blood and murder.

Cleopatra coldwaves and cat tongues, raw meat for breakfast pearls on pubic hair. Paintings of dead girls and dead girls playing games with chauffeurs and mummies and mommies in graveyards. It really shouldn't be sexy, but it's as much sexy as it is anything, which is everything. Ideas in ink, in words, in cigarette smoke, in fetish and lace. Just two kittens of questionable mental state, twisted from inbreeding? Maybe not who they say they are to begin with. If it's all just a game? Lady Macbeth witch with Theda Bara eyes and an Anne Rice thighs with a daughter like a hysterical horny Jennifer Jason Leigh with ants in her pants. Singapore Sling could be any man, he is…

Two reviews in a day?! Is this Christmas? No, it's Ethan having to do a shift at his job tomorrow and even though it's about three hours it's going to completely drain my ability to write anything coherent for about four hours. So, getting my review done now.
Singapore Sling is the ultimate culmination of my re-occurring Hooptober fascination with perverse sexuality and how it can slip into our categorisation of horror. It is easily the most disturbing film I've seen this season so far because of…
I want to cry, but that'll only make things worse.
greek decadence, true romance for the perverted and depraved hearts; desire, sweat and fear are breaking at the seams—this movie wants you on your knees. Singapore Sling is a complete tonal arthouse fuck-party of genres; neo-noir, fetish porn, darkest of dark comedy, with a taboo side of mother/daughter incestuous murderdome! intentional fourth-wall breaking monologues that go in depth of the perverse role playing sadomasochistic games that go on in the house of sexual exploitative torture—so much flesh and inner-moral corruption. Meredyth Herold plays nymphomaniac daughter that commands every single scene with crazed eyes and sexual need.
I love the moments that take you out of the realm of normalcy, is this real or just another game?
boundary pushing cinema will never not impress my inner psycho; hard to put into words but there’s nothing like Singapore Sling.
Excruciatingly intense, slow-burn discomfort, unbelievably erotic, sadomasochistic hell on the screen. The experience of physically responding to films in a way that I like is new-ish to me, so every time it's special. This is both visceral and sensual at once; transgressive, comedic, tragic, and beautiful.
Like wet mud caked on white lace. Archangels with dirty faces, stirring you up like a cocktail. If it sounds funny, it probably is. If it looks sexy, well… But what are we to say? What are we to think? To feel? Nothing-and-everything is an easy cop-out, but here I think it’s true. Thou in fact art the man, the polluter. And for supper? Kiwi in furs. Twitch that way when I twist the knife. Gross, isn’t it? We all get lonely sometimes, chasing a light amid the rains of night, donning different masks to suit our most abominable fancies. Maybe beautiful things defiled aren’t made unbeautiful so long as they’re cherished. The roles we play are plenty and rarely played straight. Clanging chains do sound a little bit like church bells—it is merely a matter of tone and texture. Work your pitch. Dig your own grave. A lot can get lost in a heap of soiled satin sheets.
I lack the vocabulary needed to express just how extraordinary Singapore Sling is. If you have 3 minutes to spare however, please read (and like) Ethan's excellent review. He goes into full detail why you need to watch this perverted little arthouse flick. For my part, all I can say is that this has all the sadistic mother-daughter incestuous/ regurgitation/ murder- porn that I crave for in a movie.
weird greek vomit incest kinky gooner torture porn , this movie basically has basically everything even throwing up guts and then fucking them and somehow it's still great
Céline and Julie Go Boning
A rare effort in cinema history, perhaps carrying its hybrid heritage from Serbian provocateurs and Italian shockers, yet satirizing the intellectual downfall of modern society through a unique twist of film-noir with a self-inflicted sadomasochistic, necrophilic, urophilic, cannibal, transvestite, emetophilic, lesbian perversion. It'd be hilarious to know what's Otto Preminger's opinion over this bastard son of cinema... or how much he'd vomit all over his bleeding entrails.
98/100

a bataillean cinematic essay on noir - otto preminger’s laura in particular, duh - surfacing the genre’s undercurrents of perversity and fetish. given film theorists’ love for noir, i’m surprised a movie like this—a wildly recursive metatext with a demolished fourth wall and intense play between past, present, and fantasy—has gotten so little critical attention!!*** by tackling the preminger film it also resonates with the similarly laura-fixated twin peaks, where dale cooper’s obsession is born in the moment where he sees laura frozen on the TV, as macpherson is enchanted by the painting of laura—a painting which recurs in singapore sling. “who killed laura” was the driving question of that show; here she is…
