Over-hyped

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2006)

OK, people. This is not everything that I expected. Look,I'm a gore hound and this was not up to par. This is your typical "fade to black because the audience can't handle actually seeing anything happen" movie. This is not say that I don't appreciate leaving some things to the imagination - the ear cutting "scene" in Reservoir Dogs was genius. However, if you advertise a movie as being gory then by all means - let it be gory. This was a good movie, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. However, I find it really difficult to believe all that I've heard. Ambulances having to come to the theaters? People puking and afraid to go home? Come on. This is also not to say that I want gore just for gore sake. I'm just sick of fade to black... sorry, but to me seeing pruners around the toe without seeing it get cut off is like sex with no orgasm... not worth the time and effort. Seen the trailer? Then you've seen all you need to see if you're gore hound. Want to see some soft core porn then a little gore? Head to the theaters, you won't be displeased.
