Participants of these kind of movies must have got some serious issues going on.

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2006)

Horror you say? Yea sure, I enjoy a good horror movie from time to time. Gore? No problem there, its a basic part of horror right? So, whats the problem then? Well,...everything!
Movies a lot like this one (let me name: Texas chainsaw massacre, Hostel, etc.) only have ONE single purpose: to disturb people. There's no story, no plot, no characters, no suspense, lousy acting, these are all without exception trademarks of these kind of movies. Basically the story has no real use, it's all about the gore. If they just put a dozen people in a room along with some chainsaws, axes, knives, a shotgun (you get the picture?) you would have the same effect.
Now, that is how it should be imo. However, I said "a lot" like this one. Because this movie actually has one important difference to those other movies we know. The other ones I mentioned have some random characters, 95% of the time they are teenagers who really don't care about each other anymore when the 'chopping' starts. This is acceptable. I for one really don't like those kind of movies (as I mentioned they are really just for the gore, there's nothing to it), but I can watch 'm. Now this movie however is about a family. A nice family with 2 parents, 3 kids (1 of 'm is maried and has a baby!). When these kind of disturbing things happen to a family, the movie is turned completely around I think. The gore that you usually can enjoy upsets you when you see a mother and a child involved. Now, I am not ignorent, it is obviously meant to be this way. But should it be?
I really don't think so. For me, gore is acceptable (and sometimes even enjoyable) when you see it happen to some idiot teenager who you really don't care about. But when you see families being torn apart in horrible ways, I don't know... it just doesn't feel right.
Therefor I ask myself, who would ever participate in making such a movie? They're plainly disturbing (on a very wrong way).
