    I saw the trailer on this, I REALLY don't think I can handle it. It is just too graphical, even on the trailer. Is it art? or pushing it to the limit kinda cinematography?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    He was just the Executive Producer, not the director or the writer. It's Eli Roth's film (Cabin Fever). Definitely interested in seeing it though.

    My wife had her eyes closed on a couple a scenes. I liked it a lot. Very graphic - not for the faint hearted.

    From what I can gather all its about is drilling holes thru people and cutting off body parts while theyre alive. If thats so then its not my taste.

    No, there's more to it than that. Decent plot and storyline. If you don't like gore than avoid it 'cause "it's in there". My wife thought it was sick but she liked the story and thought it was original - I agreed with her.

    watching it right now. I don't make it to the theatre much but I'll most likely go catch it there because I'm watching a version off a camera... some of the audio is not up to par.


    the story line seems pretty acceptable right now.

    I will say that it is a "guy" movie - most women that've seen it didn't like it - especially the first half. My wife told me this after talking with some of her co-workers.

    I pick up most selections ala BB Tuesday...regardless of the mass opinion. I don't need anyone else to decide what I should dislike....give me some blood.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I didn't get a chance to watch it yet, hopefully tonight. Had to sit through the new Townes Van Zandt DVD, but admittedly I enjoyed it a good deal. Especially the commentary extras....WOW :eek:

    this was one of the worst horror flicks ive seen..not scary and even the gore was over top Monty Python-ish..
    dont know why taratino would allow them to put his name on this waste of celluloid other than for nice fat check

    The whole frist hour was pretty much a porno, and the last half the effects didn't look that great, can't say that I would recommend this one to anybody, unless your into **** and gore, but then again who isn't:eek: ;)
