Anybody seen Salo?

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2006)

Just recently saw "Salo: The 120 days of Sodom" which reminded me quite a bit of this movie and the underlying message. As someone in the last post had mentioned, the movie revolves around merciless torture and humans inflicting pain on other humans. So why was the theater crammed full of people when I saw it tonight? Anybody seen both movies and see where i'm going with this?
Basically, I think the movies are very similar in message, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Eli Roth knew of "Salo". They both have that "car crash" element. Everybody knows whats in store, but they wanna see or experience it themselves, not unlike the characters in the movie. What do you think?
