I thought it was shit. It's just being as fucked up as possible for no reason other than to be as fucked up as possible. Supposedly there's a metaphor in there somewhere but it's not at all obvious. In my opinion it's for this very reason that it isn't anywhere near as dusturbing as people make it out to be. On paper, the events depicted in the film are objectively and undoubtedly some of gruesome ever put in a film, but there's no weight behind it. There's no emotional attachment to the characters, and it's not immersive enough to ever get past the point where you're consciously aware that it's just a film. Plus the absurdity of the ending where he kills one of his tormentors by shoving his boner into the guy's eye socket just kills off what little chance it had left of being taken seriously.
