Selling Isobel (2016)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Audio sounds demonic? Video not playing/delay while scrolling? Use the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, you're being blocked by a security service in use here. Can happen for a number of reasons. Or your specific device/browser might be throwing up weird errors.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A fitness instructor Isobel is approached by a man at a cafe who offers her a modelling job. It’s half a day’s work, the money is tempting and Isobel who’s a young mom is frankly flattered. As you might expect with a movie on this site, the modeling job turns out to be bait and Isobel finds herself held captive and prostituted.

Selling Isobel isn’t as grim as several others on here and even includes some seemingly ludicrous situations. But what makes it fairly unique is that it’s based on the experiences of lead actress Frida Farrell. As a young Swedish actress-student in London during the mid-’00s, she was held captive in a flat for a few days and trafficked. In her case, she escaped when her captor left the door open just before the ‘special client’ came in.

In her own words from an interview with Cosmopolitan:
“I felt so embarrassed afterwards that at first, I didn’t want to tell anyone. It took me four days to contact the police. Although 14 years doesn’t sound like much, back then police didn’t seem to take crimes like this as seriously as they would now. The officers asked me how I got to the flat in the first place, if anyone had forced me in, and when I told them I’d walked in on my own it was almost as if they couldn’t take me seriously.

They didn’t say as much, but it felt like they thought it was my own fault for going there in the first place. I was so humiliated that I left the police station.

I don’t know if Peter has ever been caught. The police said the apartment was rented by the week, that his fingerprints didn’t match any in the system, and that his phone number was attached to a pay as you go sim card that had been shut down. His website was traced back to Eastern Europe but they couldn’t locate him, so that was pretty much it. There were no more avenues to explore.”

We’ve been down this road a few times. The first time she stabbed him why didn’t she aim for the eyes or the neck and stab him multiple times to make sure he was incapacitated so he wouldn’t be able to beat the ever living fuck out of her again? It’s a pretty good film but kind of irritating to watch too. I wouldn’t want to watch it again. 3 and a half stars.

That’s a good one! Well directed, well acted, heavy but hopeful story. 5 stars!

Another crazy movie that STARTS with a scene from later in the film. I am beginning to think it is now compulsory for horror films to duplicate scenes in this way, so I just watched from 1hr 25 where the scene correctly appears. So it was a good 15 minute movie.

The movie was very good and the acting was great, bit It looks like the actress was a lot more worried of not dropping her towel even if she was alone in the room, I don’t see that happening if that was the case on real life, that was my only complain, besides that, a very good movie.

Imagining a lot of women and children lived theses kind of situation is such a happiness killer, being drugged waking up and having dirty strangers inside of you ,with all kind of diseases , not even being able to suicide yourself, morale is : think about a way to protect you and the people you love in case it happens

I usually like this genre but this one was stupid. 32 billion dollars per year is spent on sex slavery? How the fuck could anyone know that, it’s not like people in the industry file taxes

The reproach and disparaging condemnation are mortifying.

Remember – If it sounds too good to be true, you’re probably going to wind up in a cage and sold to a group of well-hung Arab men for their sexual entertainment.

And once again, I’d like to thank the fine folks at EUM for posting this one. I really enjoyed it!

I love you madly and what to buy you all Cadillacs.
