As I said in my review, if you follow the link, as far as gorefest material it's fine and dandy. But the plot has to make SOME sense and not be a total "fu*k you" to the audience, not just be this wankjob that follows NO internal logic OF ANY KIND. Yes, that does indeed ruin it, despite the gore elements and well done first-person suspense in the first reel. But by the time the story gets to the gas station and the twist is revealed, it is insulting.

Low expectaions are one thing. I didn't expect it to be Chinatown. But that it was clearly written by morons is more than just a slight negative, it's unbelieveably annoying and makes that piece of ***** not at all worth seeing.


For my money, anyway.

I agree with both you and Holden, the whole plot was retarded but it did get merit for the "gore and horror". Sadly, that doesn't make it a good film since it has nothing to stand on and it's whole internal logic just completely screwed up the film. Overall as a movie, it's a D rated but i can still enjoy it as up to the end, it had a lot going for it.
