Making Donkey Punch was all about energy, speed and intense work. - Olly Blackburn

I think Donkey Punch is an extreme thriller or an extreme reality-based thriller. The whole point of the film is it's grounded in reality.

I knew we needed brave actors - the story called for scenes that might be frightening to some - and we needed it to be real and believable.

The film is about what happens when real people do ghastly things to each other, and sure, it shows those things because that's the tone of the film — fairly realistic.
