Some of the reviews in here for this film are a hoot. It's hard for me to believe that the people who detest it so much weren't fully aware of its contents before viewing it. I'm not easily offended nor shocked, and although I was aware of the troubling scenes beforehand, I was curious as to how they could or might be executed.
I love film. And I'm not dead set against one that will challenge me. I knew that going in and remembered that throughout it's running time. Initially, I figured this would be sloppy, dark and badly done. But it's not. Well made, aptly directed and for the most part the acting is solid. Special effects were handled expertly as well.
Disturbing? Yes. Not for everyone? Judging from the comments in here, I'd have to say yes. Entertaining? Not for the majority. But I found myself immersed in this insane 'world' of these vile characters, quite comfortable in the knowledge that the director was willing to do 'anything' to move the story along. That made it work for me.
If you're the type who can handle something different, and can remember that everything that is graphically offensive 'is' simulated, and...after all, it IS only a horror MOVIE, then by all means see it. It is not quite the 'drek' that many in here claim it to be.
