The gore isn't the only thing you have to stomach....

Rating: 5/10 (28 October 2004)

I know this is an indie film, so I'll go light......
Where to commence? Ironically, I am unsure which piece to pick from this utter train wreck. I'll initiate this by saying the film was a bona fide delight, for I was immersed in laughter for at least 75% of the taxing 1 hour and 40 minutes. I hate to express this it, but there IS basis we have not seen Cary Elwes for a while (Twister, perhaps?)  'Saw' definitely confirms why!
Was it a preconceived notion for this movie to be scary? I can only speculate it was (scary) for people who had not taken their Tegrital in a few days! Despite the half-way decent plot, this collaboration should have never been allowed to come into fruition. If the objective was for spectators to imagine they were a piece of a tangible jigsaw puzzle: mission accomplished, for I left the theatre in disarray.
The incessant camera work, very much reminiscent of Natural Born Killers, became almost unbearable. I almost thought I was trapped in a Tool video gone wrong.....and the make-up, ugh!
Bottom line: this movie had so much comedic value that it overshadowed any grotesque, mind-warping psychological intention.
5/10
