Such a disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2006)

A Massive disappointment After seeing the trailer for this film and hearing the hype I was very excited in anticipation to see a brutal, gory and disturbing horror film and what did I experience? 30 minutes to start with uncannily similar to the teen comedy "Eurotrip" where 3 guys travel Europe trying to get laid and then it's interlaced with a guy wondering where his friends are going and spliced with very short torture scenes, mostly glimpses of torture rooms and hinting at the plot SPOILERS There was what? 3 torture scenes where you see anything remotely graphic? A guy gets drilled in the chest which you DO NOT see, but only hear the sound and then see his chest with trickles of blood coming outyou DON'T see the guy get his Achilles tendon severed but only when he gets to stand up you see it's been sliced. (Been done before). The second scene involves a guy getting some fingers chopped off, big deal. The final scene, pretty good where a chick is getting her eye slowly burned out by a blow torch and it's all melted away and she's screaming in agony. THAT'S what I thought that film would be throughout and unnerving like that scene was.
But it wasn't This film is hardly graphic, SAW II was way worse in terms of brutal graphic violence. The plot was lame, the acting was indeed terrible and the visuals were truly ungripping.
Not scary, not brutal, not explicit  at all
