A Narrative of Torture

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 2001)

A cute gingerbread man's legs are severed. An innocent frog and snake are blown up like balloons, tied, then set free, to (presumably) gradually die. A would-be king is eaten alive by a dragon. Rats are roasted on a barbecue pit. This is NOT for children, and barely for adults, all leading to a predictable conclusion. The film would be lucky to get one nomination from the Academy (for visual effects). "Shrek" is drek.
