too gory

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2000)

this movie could've been much better without all the nasty decapitations. This could even have been a good family movie, but no, they had to throw in all the ketchup to scare us. Well, it didn't scare me, it disgusted me.
Aside from the excessive amount of blood, this horror film is not bad. Some scenes really are frightening, like when he finds all those heads in the tree and when he meets the dead sister. What sort of disturbed me was the romance between him and the girl, it was really boring and very clichÃ©. What i did like about it (the movie), was that it was very unpredictable, i could never guess what would happen next. Sometimes Danny Elfman's score was too loud, especially in the opening credits. It almost deafened me! Cinematography was very good, great costumes, great overall look.

If you like these kinds of stories, i guess it's worth seeing, but you have to know a little bit what it's about, or you'll be confused!
(one more complaint: the ending was too exaggerated and farfetched when compared to the rest of the movie)
