Ugh. What a waste of time.
Let's start with the fact that the flick is formulaic in the extreme. Every single plot element is damn-near interchangeable with several other movies in the genre (of which, more later), to include "The Descent", "Wrong Turn", etc. No shocks, no scares, utterly, completely, predictable.
Which makes one wonder, "Why would anyone watch this?" Because it's an example of what contemporary writers call "torture-porn", and what earlier writers call "Theater of Pain". You watch it because you enjoy seeing people hacked to pieces, burned alive, impaled by all manner of pointy objects, or even, in this flick, raped by deformed mutants (although in response to a common thread on this movie's message boards, I didn't find the rape scene all that graphic. Disturbing and awful, yes. But glory be, they left some things to the imagination). Maybe you like the thrill of nausea you get from watching cruelty, maybe you don't. But if you don't get a little creeped out by the degree of violence and depravity in this flick, you should perhaps be a little concerned about your own psychological barometer.
I won't patronize the audience by asking "how could you enjoy this?" Like I said, it's a form of porn. It just isn't for me, nor, I would venture to say for anyone who like films with subtlety or nuance. This is Grand Guignol, nothing more or less.
