In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Dungeon Girl (2008)
A drama directed by Ulli Lommel.
A girl whose father commited suicide is abducted by a stranger who she lives with for years before escaping.
This is a slower film with a melancholy nature to it. There are quick flashes of implied sexual abuse and witches burning. Where I got it there were bad comments, but it wasn't bad at all. The strange man locks the girl in a closet and video tapes everything she does, but hardly touches her at all. There are also flashbacks of the girl's past in black and white, which I thought was a nice touch. I'm rating it adequate because it's a perfectly fine movie and I see nothing wrong.
