Rating: 5.0
the art of disturbing
I was very wrong, before I saw it, I thought it would be some kind of pointless gorefest ( here in Germany, it has that reputation, perhaps according to the strong arm of censorship - never buy a movie here, if you are lucky you might get the half!), but when it got on my screen I began to understand it's legendary status. This isn't fun to watch, not at all, and if you need a funny slasher film to watch with some beer, stay far away! This one will make your belly ( and your brain ) rotate and all without gore. Yes it's cruel,but here cruelty becomes art! I found myself turning my head from the screen because I just didn't want to see what was going on. This happens once in let's say 10 Years! The Acting is over the top, from the Victims ( which are no stupid lambs as in many other films ) to the Villans ( which are far too powerful to lead this movie to an happy end ). If you rather like Scream than the Blair Witch Project, avoid it. If you love original movies, you should get it as fast as you can!
