Ugh

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2006)

If I had gone alone, I would have walked out after 10 minutes. I felt like I was going to throw up. I did like the first movie because it had and interesting story and was a little more plausible than this one. Right off the bat, some random guy is crunching off his foot. Then a few minutes later is the guy in chains. I thought that Jigsaw and Amanda were too pretentious, the story twisted so many ways that it started to topple, there was little known about any of the victims which made it hard to sympathize for either side. The thing that bothered me most was the unrelenting gore. The wet, crunching, ripping, screaming was nauseating. The worst part of all was there was after sitting through all of it, there was not one thing redeeming for any of the characters (and therefore the audience).
Now, I have seen some weird, gross stuff and it hasn't really bothered me in the past. Hostel was a bit strong, but it was sparse with the torture when it needed to be. I enjoyed the Jackass movies, so I'm not being prudish. If you like pure, raw gore then this is your film. I, on the other hand, left feeling nauseous and insulted.
