This is a short review of the Directors Cut specifically.
This film pretty much has one purpose and that's to be a shocking and some what offensive slasher film and I think it did that well enough. The story isn't deep and the acting isn't always great but I really don't think this film was ever supposed to have an amazing story or be a convincing film. It really gets ridiculous at points. If your looking for something with a better story and more substance I would watch something like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. If you go into this film expecting anymore than a guy going around brutally murdering people your really not going to get anymore than that. But if you go into this film knowing it's a mindless slasher and your just there for the gore and shock value you'll probably enjoy it. Can't really recommend this film for anyone unless your really into extreme horror and haven't seen it yet. I've seen a lot of "extreme" movies in my day and this definitely had a couple rough scenes in particular I'd rather not see again. Don't bother with the film if it's not the Directors Cut. The regular release is missing so many scenes that it's not worth watching at all and loses its main appeal, which is definitely the shock value.
