Too much gore

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2007)

What the hell were these guys trying to do when they made this movie ?..They are entirely sick and sadistic, never mind how clever they are. I liked Saw I very much, but for God's sake, these guys don't know the difference between terror, horror and gore. Seeing a trephine done with elementary tools; or a man drowned in pig juice; or a throat cut by a saw is not horror..it's simply disgusting. If you want gore and shock, then any clip from Iraq showing the real slaughtering of a prisoner can do better. The make-up guys did everything possible to prove they earned their buck, and they did it well. My impression is that they made this film as a catalogue documentary for what they can do, so they can make contracts with other production companies. The thrills are childish, like a school kid trying to scare the hell out of the chicks by eating frogs or removing his decayed tooth in front of them. This is disgusting.. It ought to bring some screams , but this is not cinema ..this is not horror. We used to think Lucio Fulci was sick.. Now we know he was a romantic film maker. Apart from that, I can't accept this plot anymore. I can't believe 2 persons are able to design all these satanic demonic shows. This would have taken an army of technicians. The only good thing about this movie is Shawnee Smith... She scared the hell out of me, and everything about her acting was legendary as usual.You can never believe she's not really insane. Her eyes were scary.. Her skin was scary.. her voice was scary... This lady is the most gifted and most underrated actress in Cine business today....
