Like A Car Accident - You Can't Look Away

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2007)

This is a movie that was a bit disturbing to me on a couple of levels. First, the brutalities that the step-father committed reminded me of true tales of Nazis and Saddam Hussein. I remember one anecdote where Saddam shot a member of his political party during one of their sessions.
The violence portrayed looked quite realistic - as did the incredible makeup and CGI work...one of the best efforts I've can ever remember watching. The casting was quite well done too. I especially enjoyed Doug Jones' Fauno performance. I never would have guessed he wasn't a Spanish or Mexican native!
Having said that, it did not leave me with a warm fuzzy. Still, a movie well worth my time.
