Give Credit where Credit is due

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2006)

There is a lot of controversy over this film. People find it to be sick and twisted, and if you are among the people who enjoy it then you must be sick and twisted as well. I think if you take a step back no matter if you loved the film or hated it you must admit it got your attention, and that's what it's all about. I don't think Eli Roth went into this film wanting everyone to love it. He wanted it to disturb you, and make you sick, and maybe even hate it. I think he did a fabulous job of that, and that's why I appreciate this film so much. It taps into that place in your mind that makes you uncomfortable. Some people enjoy feeling that, and others cannot handle it. So I say give the film credit because it is in no way a mediocre film no matter which way you look at it.
