Way disappointing and way too much allusions

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2011)

I've just watched the film last night, since after some reviews about how good it is and seeing the trailer (but tell me a film that's not good based only on the trailer), and I was beyond disappointed. I'm s woman, so the masturbating scenes of a skeletal girl and lesbian sex are as appealing to me as the sex scenes from Brokeback mountain were to my male friends. Not to mention it's totally self-service or I'd say male fan- service, nothing more. The situation with the mother and the self-scratching (mutulating)seems like a copy of the film La pianiste, the supposed to be horror scares are old clichés can be seen in a lot of movies, and some dialogues give the déja-vu feeling and for a reason. Altogether, I think it's totally overrated, predictable, full of clichés. You might enjoy it, if you've never seen a thriller/horror film before. If that's going to the Golden Globe (and Oscar) I seriously worry about the level of the whole award.
