Wait for the DVD...

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2006)

I saw this film this evening and was scared just reading all the hype about the brutality in this film before seeing it. After seeing the flick, I kept wondering how many of the gore scenes had been cut after the Toronto Film festival because I missed most of them, at least as described by previous reviewers. This movie isn't anything you haven't seen before in this type of genre, in fact, if you believe all the hype, you will be disappointed. Of course, there are scary, edge of your seat moments, but the "buzz" led me to believe that it was closer to "snuff" than "fluff". Great effects, scary concept, but it was anything but ground-breaking...wait for the DVD, the extras will make it worth the price!
