- Quotes
Joey: Hey, shit nuts. Your fucking waxer ruined my ball. It's yours now. I want a new one.
BBK: Alright, first of all, shit-for brains, that area's being remodeled. You ain't even supposed to be over there. And secondly, you're a fucking dip shit. It looks to me like you just pressed down too goddamned hard. You're supposed to let that machine do all the work. I don't see it as a malfunction at the junction boy.
Joey: Maybe you should open your fucking eyes then, idiot. There's one inch of sharp screw embedded in the bottom. It's fucked. End of story. Now go get me a new fucking ball.
BBK: Use one of the balls by your lane.
Joey: Those balls are shitty and used, just like your fucking underwear. Now go get me a goddamned new ball!
BBK: Hey, calm down now. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Now you be a good boy and go back over to your lane and maybe I'll go over to the store and get you something brand-spanking new. If you're lucky.
Joey: Lucky? You wanna talk about luck? You're fucking lucky the toilet wouldn't flush when your mom spread her legs and pulled you out with a goddamned coat hanger.
BBK: You're lucky the buffalo beat me over the fence, otherwise I'd be your daddy.
Joey: Oh, that's fucking hilarious. Hey, where are you going? You better be going to get my new ball. I got a fucking game to win, no fucking around!
BBK: Yeah, that's what your mama said.

At times it comes off as amateurish with its over the top characters, it's subpar dialogue (consisting of constant F-bombs every few seconds due to apparently a lot of improvising). All the characters were quite dislikeable and too over the top. Very one dimensional and provided limited lack of depth.
The special effects are top notch as there were several great looking violent deaths. Including a characters face being completely drained into a bowling alley waxer, an explicit bathroom scene choking death scene, several mutilated body and face deaths, heads stabbed and smashed by bowling pins. It seems that with each passing death went on, it became more violent.
There is a slight intriguing twist in the end to tie everything up. Somewhat predictable but in the end it makes sense and actually provides something clever. The ending did make the overall film better and worth it. With that said, this film is not for the squeamish as many may be offended and disturbed throughout, and at times comes across as trying vaguely too hard for shock value.
