I am terrified for society: A repulsive and abhorrent movie

Rating: 1/10 (24 July 2006)

I am a huge fan of horror movies and watch everything that I can get my hands on (House of Wax, Halloween H20, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wrong Turn, and many more). Gore has never been a problem for me before (others having told me that I was sick for not being bothered by some scenes in other movies), but this movie was abhorrent.
I occasionally had to avert my eyes from the screen to avoid nausea, and was absolutely shocked that this movie was ever accepted into theaters. Wanting to cry most of the time, and feeling defiled and unsettled after finishing this movie, I wish for the first time in my life that I had never rented a movie.
The viewers are assailed by images of blood, gore, and many disturbing images; many of which could have been toned down or lost all together. Overall the only reason I can say that people would like this movie is if they are obsessed with blood and death.
The acting was decent, and I did jump a few times; however, I would recommend that you stay away from this movie. I am not naive about what goes on in the world, and even planning to enter the FBI's violent crime unit, but for the first time in my life I am saying that a movie like this never should have been released, or even made for that matter.
I have defended many horror movies, stating that they do not contribute to the descent of our society into violence, but I now think that I cannot keep that stance. This movie emotionally and physically unsettled me, and the fact that so many people loved or liked this movie terrifies me because it makes me realize how far our society has sunk, and how fast values and morals are being degraded and lost.
