Criminally sick!

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 1999)

What I found most disturbing about this movie is its almost cult-like popularity with some gen-X fans. I know one young woman who owns the video and watches it on a regular basis. (She's seen it dozen of times.) She says its additively fascinating to her, something like watching an execution. Is it any wonder that events like the shootings at Columbine High are routine when blood drinking, sadism and homo-eroticism comprise acceptable "entertainment" for young people? It is frightening that in so many scenes the victim begs for mercy and is simply ignored, desensitizing the viewer to human suffering. The victim is not a person--he/she is "dinner." I found the scene where the young (naked) woman pleads for her life but is nevertheless turned over to a hungry vampire hoard particularly disturbing. The makers of this film should be jailed. Anyone who could create this sick stuff is truly deranged. What's next Anne? Filmed autopsies as entertainment? Secret films from the Nazi death camps? Animals being tortured to death?
