Went and saw it tonight, wasnt too impressed, it is what it is, a scary movie but no plot whatsoever, i expected more from tarantino even though he didnt have that big a part in it.

> I read an article about this movie where they interviewed the director Eli Roth and he said that there were websites where they would offer to kill anyone you want for 25k kinda sick aint it? to know where worth 25k to someone adn they wont just kill you theyll make you suffer and make you wish you were dead.

I didn’t know this. The film is possibly better now it could have actually happened.

Overall I was let down. Maybe I’m just sick, but it didn’t really freak me out at all. I didn’t know too much about the film apart from it was suppose to be “the scariest/goriest” movie of all time, so I was kinda surprised at how much of a teen flick the first 45 minutes were, I wasn’t quite expecting all the boobies, I was expecting some good old torture.

The storyline did kinda lose its punch at the end when they reveal its a place where people who have the desire to kill/torture someone can go there and pay $25k to have someone captured. The whole punchline didn’t pack any punch :shifty: Everything was done too half heartedly, might have been better if it was 15mins longer and ellaborated a bit more, or removed 15mins of the teen movie that was stitched onto the start.

Won’t really want to see it again becuase it bored me,

Film 3/10  
Gore 7/10 (not as gorey as I was expecting)
