Wasn't that great

Rating: 3/10 (20 January 2006)

*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!!* *YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!* The gore in the movie and the torture scenes were more than most American audiences are used to for sure. But, the story was VERY predictable for the most part. In fact, the premise behind the story was not much different than that used for the movie "The Game" or the novel "The Most Dangerous Game". Nothing new here really plot-wise.
Secondly, the protagonists walk right into things that any sane person would run like hell from because 99.9% of the people in this world would realize something was amiss. An art exhibit in a rundown freaking factory looking place? Give me a break. Basically, for the story to work, you have to have dumb asses as pseudo-heroes.
I also thought the movie was more about voyeuristic viewing of the audience watching torture and murder. Should say a lot about our society.
In the end, as a horror movie, the plot was thin, the story was a recycled one with a different twist, the main "good guy" characters are all idiots, and the ending of one left standing is pretty well predictable. The only thing this movie provides is very graphic violence usually not seen in American theaters.
