Disappointed but satisfied

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2009)

I had never seen this film until about 3 months ago. I've been recently going through a list of movies that everyone seems to rave about and this was number one. Before I tell you my number one and only problem with this film I must say the acting and the story line along with the special effects are excellent, a very well cast crew really. Now my number one problem was the amount of gore. Im fairly strong stomached when it come to violence in movies but this was confronting to say the least. I think that if the movie had what we Australians call M15+ it would have been a much better movie. The storyline and characters where so strong that the violence for me cheapens the movie, more a kin to a B grade horror movie. Prehaps I'm just soft, but i would prefer not to see this movie again which is a shame.
