What was Tarantino thinking?!??!!

Rating: 1/10 (27 March 2006)

Considering the high pedigree of screenplays that we've come to expect from Quentin Tarantino, this film is an incredible letdown.
If I jumped out of a window once I wouldn't be a stuntman. In the same sense as the five or ten minutes of violence in 'Hostel' shouldn't make it a horror film...Especially when just as a chainsaw begins doing its job the camera cuts away to a unconvincing screaming face.
the acting in this film is definitely second rate, this appears to be confirmed when the majority of the film is second rate pornography. It's as if someone was thinking "damn, these guys can't act...quick! throw in some heavy sex scenes to distract everyone!" After seeing adverts that called the film "the scariest American movie in a decade" i was very excited. Especially when you consider how good 'Saw' was when it came out.
Could this film top 'Saw' in the horror stakes? Sadly...no.
What could have been a brilliant film has been reduced to a low budget low horror low quality soft porn flick that's about as scary as an angry badger!
