Don't watch on a full stomach.

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2006)

It seemed like this movie was over-hyped until it actually hit the theatres, then it became a sort of a flop. I liked it personally, I thought maybe it could have been done better, but it was alright. People on the board are complaining about how it was sick and disgusting. I look at it more like a rebirth of the trashy era of cinema that started in Europe (mainly Italy). This was a trash film. It exploited and objectified women, showed lots of graphic violence and was filled with foul language. Maybe you're not familiar with the work of Lucio Fulci, Joe D'Amato, or even Dario Argento but this sort of thing thrived in the 80's. Anyway, about the movie. The only thing that bothered me was the abundance of inane dialogue among the Americans, proving that most of us between the ages of 18-30 can't say a single sentence without using the "F" word. But that's what you get when you rent a "teen" movie nowadays (Look at "The Girl Next Door" for example.). Two American college students take a trip across Europe looking to party and find some girls. They do just that and the audience is treated to some of the most explicit sex scenes I've seen in a while. One is kidnapped and taken to a slaughterhouse to be tortured and killed. Why? You'll have to watch and find out. The second half of the movie is for die-hard gore lovers only. It's got some truly revolting make-up effects, including an eyeball scene that would have made Lucio Fulci nauseous. See this movie if you're tired of those other slick, glossed over, minimal violence, new horror movies.
