I really dislike this movie

Rating: 3/10 (23 January 2010)

This movie really wasn't for me on any level. I like horror, from cheesy B movies to horrific chillers, but this to me was just an excuse to try and be controversial.
to give them their due the special effects were good (for which they get off the bottom rung) but that was it, there was less storyline than found in top shelf movies and less believable if possible.
I am no Mary Whitehouse, but there is not need for this kind of film, where there is no reason for the torture or pain or suffering of the characters and no resolution or moral story. This film left me really disturbed mainly because of its sheer pointlessness and the fact that within its pointlessness it showed truly (and I really mean truly)monstrous acts for no reason. I wont say that it should never have been released, but I think the authors and producers, should take a real good look at themselves and perhaps consider professional help.
The worst thing for me though is that one of my favourite directors put his name to this monstrosity and its kind of lowered my opinion of him. QT does gore and shock tactics, but in his films there is at least (normally) some good reason, other than an excuse for gore.
I give it a 3 for its special effects, but unless you really like depraved films of no merit, avoid this film like the plague.
