The problem is, Tarsem doesn't seem to understand context very well. Like WHY a scene is cool. Yes, the bodies hanging from the ceiling in The Cell look like the ones in Coma , but it's certainly not freaky. The freaky factor comes in knowing that the people in Coma are being harvested. Just because he had the bio-suits designed to look like flayed bodies doesn't mean that the scene is going to set you on edge.
Horror works when it is applicable and mental.
Gratuitous visual stimulation is nothing but masturbation to porn - it's an empty experience. But see, the brilliance in this disc is that David and Charlie got it all on audio tape and preserved it for us to listen to. Tarsem unknowingly condemns himself over and over again, as he spouts off his thoughts like some fan boy. It's all such a smack in the gut. I honestly hope that film students will pick this disc up and witness for themselves exactly why a film like this doesn't work.
