fantastic and intelligent

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 1999)

Although not as amazing as the editors cut, the mainstream release version is an excellent demonstration of man's general inability to adapt to new environments. It is also a film that portrays at a somewhat deeper level some of the more profound anxieties gripping western culture - sexual dysfunction, fear of death and the confusion of sexuality. A must see because at all levels this is great - action, gore, special effects and thoughtful in it's protrayal of the westerns societies' insecurities.
