If you like Scary Movies, but not sure about Torture Movies...

Rating: 1/10 (14 May 2006)

Calling this a scary movie is like calling a hard core porn movie a "Tender Love Story". If you saw Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and enjoyed the scene where the cop gets his ear cut off, well think of that scene times 10.
The actual movie could have been a good thriller without even showing one torture scene. It could have shown torture tools and sounds that would had left the rest to your imagination, but like a hard core porn movie, nothing had to be left to your imagination thanks to up-close graphic material. (I had no problems with the sex & drug scenes in the movie) I don't want to compare this to porn because if the goal of porn is to get your sexually stimulated, then this movie's goal is to turn your stomach, not in a horror movie way, but in a perverted sadistic way.
I can deal with the multiple "what are the odds of that happening" events through out the movie. Especially the revenge killings and escape scenes. If the movie offered some type of artistic angles that made you overlook the perverse sadistic violence, then you got something for sitting through it all. Instead, it left me feeling like I just watched some type of snuff film off some twisted S&M web site or something.
Jeffrey Dahmer would have loved this film if he was still alive, but I didn't.
