Extreme horror, no story, disturbing movie in a nutshell

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2006)

I've thought a bit how I should rate this movie. On the one hand I can not deny being drawn into the suspense of the horror. So in that sense the horror was 'succesful'. It sure gives you a scare or two, not because of nicely timed shock effects, not because of the gore, but mainly the whole sociopath thing going on, which in its semi-realistic settings is just too sick.
The actual horror part of the movie somehow feels like it appears out of thin air after an extremely mediocre and dull start of the movie: of bunch of teens going to Amsterdam for sex and joints. My immediate reaction was 'Jeeez, not AGAIN... it's getting OLD!'
The storyline is as thin as paper and so are the characters. The whole movie basically feels like an empty vessel with some vomit spilled next to it. Quite a disturbing movie really. Scary? Yes, at times. Should you go see it? No, a waste of time.
