Very Disturbing Should have walked out.

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2006)

Way too graphic for my taste and yes it was disturbing, distressing and upsetting. I arrived and sat next to a couple of kids and their mom. First thing on the screen were the 3 young men out looking for a good time in Amsterdam smoking pot followed by scenes with strong sexual content. Wondering what these kids are doing here? My guess the boys were less then 10-years old way too young for this movie.
I will say I don't normal go to horror flicks, I see why now. Don't get me wrong I think some are done very well. "The Shining" is a great example and more recent "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" another good example. I do go to movies every week so I figure I paid for this better sit through it. In some ways the plot and acting were well done the scenes were very real, in some ways to real. The torture scenes were especially brutal and violent and not the things I would want any kids to see. To tell the truth I didn't want to see them being that graphic. It's hard for me to believe that so many people are this desensitized that there is such a demand for this kind of cruelty/torture. It's also a little untimely with U.S. in the news bringing detainees to eastern block countries to be tortured.
After leaving I found it tough to shake the brutal scenes and felt violated in some ways for sitting through it. Not sure why I stayed, it's been a long time since I walked out on a movie, should have trusted my instincts and walked out...
