Very well done gory film but A LOT of plot holes., 9 August 2009
6/10
Author: nychika from United States

If you are the type of movie watcher who loves movies like Saw and Hostel because of its gore then you will definitely love the gory parts of this movie. Personally, i think that this movie's goriness knocks off Saw and Hostel out of the way. On the other hand, i also think the gory parts is what made the movie survive. Throughout watching this film i felt this movie was like the type of movie made by a novice director or could be placed in the category of an independent movie which i felt didn't have the right budget as other scary movies did for the director to film. I don't know though its just the feeling i got as compared to other big hit scary movies. i may be confused with the acting, which i wasn't too happy about. Like i mentioned earlier , if it didn't have gore it would be one of the worst movies i would have ever seen in 2009! Hands down! the WORST part of the movie is the plot holes, when you leave the theater you will ask yourself hundreds of questions about the events that occurred and why and who. . etc. So if you are the type of person who hates that than don't see this movie!
