Bedazzling, but not in a good way!

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2011)

This movie is overrated and does not need to be watched. I understand why many people give it a high rating, but I disapprove. This movie is emotionally disturbing and should touch every sane person, but how couldn't it: It's full of violence and blood, incestuous sex and so on. I have no problem with that in principle, but using these devices should be justified by the story. Take Se7en, for example. It's full of violence, but the story makes good use of it. This movie fails to do so.
People have commented this movie for the good acting and have brought forward, as example, a scene where the protagonist eats a living octopus. That's the kind of acting you gonna get. If you think that's great cinematic performance, you might enjoy this movie, if you have any taste, you'll be touched by the movie but will be left asking yourself: Was this worth it? I don't think so.
