Thats about what I figured.

After hearing others I assumed the only draw was tits and poorly constructed gratuitous violence. Add that to nearly no storyline and you pretty much get a newer version of Dusk til Dawn which was horribly laughable at best.

Thanks for the confirmation Jae

Im still trynna figure out some of the movie...id expect this as a dutch foreigh film...I dont even know why tarantino Endorsed this. But you are right...it's nothing but tits and i wouldnt even say vilolence....just unnecessary slicing and dicing...I think they were just out to make a snuff type film and call it a day

I swear the first 45 minutes of it is a porno

Yeah it has become the new trend in horror for the bigger guys in volved in it.

Basically they buy a script for some chump change through a third party (keeps the price down on the purchase), then rewrite it a bit using some hack who barely can type between coke binges, then scam up a decent budget and get no name actors (actually no names are a must for horror), underpay them but keep them high as you brew up buckets of blood and random ways to skew camera angle and away you go.

The general public eats this shit up because they forget they are watching a movie which is supposed to have a plot and some dialogue in order to add strength to the killings. Too much dialogue and you get a weak movie such as Scream, too little and no character development and you get a movie such as Jeepers Creepers. Yet these movies still make millions ans Siskel and Roper still give it a thumbs up
