 Horrible April 29, 2009
Please, please do not buy this version of the movie! I was so disappointed with this "R" rated version. I won't bore you with a repeat of all the other reviews, but they are spot on. I would give this zero stars if I could, pass this one by.

Worst movie ever March 15, 2009
Lord Schitsdain (Arizona, USA)
This is one of the most over-hyped and deceptively marketed pieces of unredeemable dreck ever. The talentless "director" knew that he could never make a quality film, so he set out to make a "controversial" film, evidently so that he could get free press from all the protests against his film. When a film is this small, ratings can be skewed by a handful of people creating fake accounts and giving it 5 stars, which is reportedly what happened with this disaster. The director made claims that 3 photolabs refused to develop the film because it was too graphic, yet I can't understand how they could know what was on the negative until AFTER they developed it. Sounds like an outrageous claim to pique one's curiosity. The dvd case is covered with warnings of "shocking, disturbing, controversial, most graphic film ever..." which is a real crime on this chopped up Lionsgate version as it is false advertising in this context. I've seen more shocking episodes of Gilligans Island. What I don't see on the cover are accolades to the skill and craftsmanship which went into this film, because there wasn't any. The sound cuts out in spots due to a bad mic connection during filming and most of the dialog had to be looped in post and doesn't match up very well. The "actors" are mostly strippers, prostitutes and porn stars, some literally pulled off the street the day before shooting. Since there is no plot and the script sucks, acting wasn't really required. Just scream and die covered in blood. Oh, and get naked first.
This was just an utterly pointless movie with a poser nazi wannabe who was supposed to be the Grandson of some top Hitler aide as the serial killer. The plot is: **SPOILER ALERT** Killer eats, works out to nazi propaganda film, drives around, picks up girl, has sex and kills her, goes to sleep, has nightmares, gets up, eats, works out to nazi propaganda, walks around, picks up girl, kills girl...repeat if necessary. The shameless director included footage of the Twin Towers in flame because his cinematographer happened to be in NY on Sept. 11 and got 7 min. of "THE ONLY 35mm FOOTAGE IN EXISTANCE." One more embarassing claim to fame. He tried to justify it in the directors commentary by saying the killer felt it represented how society was falling apart. Right, a guy who butchers 30 women and little girls thinks society is messed up. I've got the only 8mm footage in existance of my 7th birthday if he wants it for his next masterpiece.
The guy who made this garbage set piece, acts like a spoiled 3 yr. old trying to get attention by acting out. It is nothing but gratuitous crap meant to shock and offend, rather than entertain, the acting is horrible, the script is worse, and other than the blood splattered dungeon, the set dressing is non-existant. I can't imagine how the uncut version would hold any interest to anyone other than a sweaty sociopathic perv living in his mommies basement, and this cut up version will be of no interest to him or anybody else. What a waste of $2 million.
I havent seen the directors cut, but one things for sure.. May 6, 2008

this version sucks.. there really isnt much to get out of it, the effects are well done when you actually see them. most stuff is off screen and feels extremely watered down. the killer usually just uses a shaving razor which is much better done in Sweeny Todd and House of 1,000 Corpses. the use of a chainsaw is done much better in countless movies, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and TCM: The Beginning to name a couple. the whole "following a serial killer" thing is done immensely better in Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer".
... and people say Hostel is watered down..
decent camera work and a pretty good soundtrack are the only redeeming qualities this movie has. other than that its just.. lame.

This version of the movie is the slaughtered, highly edited version. I rented it from the video store believing I was getting the real, original version and ended up with this. This movie is cut down so much that it is turned into a cheap looking 80's style cheese horror flick. The real version is the UNRATED DIRECTORS CUT. This is not the original Palumbo release...it's Lion's Gates massacre of the original version....be warned there is a reason that there are so many used versions of this DVD for 1.00 or less....
