a good premise spoilt by crudity

Rating: 4/10 (16 March 2014)

This is a good basic story - some actors (playing themselves) facing the apocalypse occurring while at a house-warming party - but spoilt, in my estimation, by excessive crudity. There are many and lengthy references to sexual acts, graphic phallic symbols, and references to rape, homosexual acts and other things that are totally inappropriate in a mainstream film. Otherwise, the story was actually quite good, and I enjoyed the film. It is a pity that it was spoilt for me by these distractions. The acting was also variable, and I suspect that several of the actors were a little embarrassed to be taking part in this film. I would have preferred to have had a better developed story, better special effects, and a more imaginative ending.
