Don't be fooled by the cheap direct to video marketing
This movie rocks. It seems it is being marketed as some direct to video cheapie. But wait... Violence , sex, drugs, car accidents, human sacrifice, cannibalism, and James Gandolfini. The script is great. The direction is sharp, superhip and intelligent. Alex de la Iglesia has been called the director of generation in Spain. His other two flims (Accion Mutante and The Day of the Beast) have been hits all over the world except in the U.S. He has won many awards at film festivals worldwide. The acting in the film is top notch. Pacing is relentless and some of the action sequences are breathtaking. So once again don't be fooled by bad american marketing. This film gives any Tarantino or Rodriguez flick a run for its money. The Europeans know how to make action and horror. Don't forget to check out The Day of the Beast, de la Iglesia is definitely a filmmaker on his way up.
