Dark & Depressing

Rating: 3/10 (30 July 2011)

Not only did I find this movie hideously dark and gloomy and a total downer, but it's perverted to the extreme. When the husband cuts off her finger the scene is shown in detail and he goes on with the act knowing full well that his step-daughter, the daughter of the women he's irreparably harming, is RIGHT THERE. This poor little girl is screaming her head off telling him to stop and he just chops away! And to make things worse, you see a nasty spray of blood spurt all over the girl. Ewe!!! (No wonder the girl grew up to play in an HBO TV series about vampires). The whole thing was acted out well and the plot had potential. There just needed to be a different script: not as dark or depressing or gory. And they could have definitely cut the nudity. The actors were not attractive and no one wants to see that. Also, a change of scenery would have made a HUGE HUGE difference! I was distracted throughout the movie by the nastiness and gloom of the location.
