Brutal, horrifying, sickening, amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2006)

I have been a horror fan sense as long as I can remember. I can not tell you how amazing I thought this movie was. Tryly horrifying, i have never been as scared as i was watching this film. The acting was so good that i really felt invested in the family, and there stories. I cared for each and every member and my heart broke for them when all hell broke loose. This film IS NOT for the average movie goer, i was really shocked to see how grutesk it was, and at times i had to close my eyes. The characters are believable as a family. VINESSA SHAW and DAN BYRD were standout in my eyes. They both had amazing roles. Vinessa Shaw's character Lynne seemed to be the glue that held the family together and wanted so much for everyone to be happy, and she loved her baby as any caring mother would. She also seemed to be the smartist and maybe strongest of the group. Dan played the teen boy role very well, i liked how he used the word "random" to explain the pig he saw, because I am a teenager and i use that word to describe just about everything. Any horror film will love this movie, it is A lot different from other horror films like house of wax and the Texas chainsaw massacre, because it is a family that is being torn apart, and everyone can relate to that, not random teenagers being stalked by ex boyfriends while blowing each other. GREAT movie.
10/10
