The few reviews that are here were written by people who did not know what they were getting in to. This is TRUE independent shock cinema. Not simply "indie" because it wasn't made by one of the major studios. Too many people use the same barometer for judging ALL films, when in actuality, it is impossible to do that without missing something. If the same criteria is used to judge this film as other indie films (eg Napoleon Dynamite, Peanut Butter Falcon, etc) then of course it's going to suck. Approach this for what it is folks...a truly independently made film.
As it pertains to shock cinema, this is actually one of the better pieces I've seen in a while. While some of the acting is standard shock cinema fare, I give props to nearly every female in this. GREAT screams, and very convincing fear. Some of the men were just hideous, but as I said...the movie was is shock cinema. Not something made for the purpose of winning an Oscar for Best Actor.
There are truly some vile scenes in the movie. On par with Headless (another GREAT modern day masterclass in shock cinema). Could the fx have been better? Sure, but for a micro budget movie, the gore is excellent.
Look...don't go in to this looking for character depth, convincing role playing, and complex story lines. This is exploitation for the purpose of being "wrong." There are loads of truly independent movies out there, and most are just absolutely hideous. At least this one gets the formula right...spend what budget you have on making the gore is realistic as possible and let everything else fall where it may.
For fans of August Underground, the Guinea Pig series etc. Great gore, killer screams, and even some topless shots. Exploitation the way it was meant to be. If you're looking for something other than filthy exploitation, don't watch this. If you want a mindless hour and 15 minutes of blood, guts, near-term abortions with coat hangers, and mayhem, then get your popcorn and settle in for a quick watch.
