It has to be seen to be believed (2)

I used the same title for "Broceliande" which took the horrror film to new heights of stupidity.This is the worst French (and arguably Polish?I cannot judge for that matter)thriller that has ever been filmed to date ,even beating the worst photocopies of "silence of the lambs" the likes of "les rivières pourpres" or "les morsures de l'aube".

It's a shame to take such a serious subject (snuff movies) and give it such a couldn't-care -less treatment.It's mindless and irresponsible to turn something unbearable into a pure entertainment movie.Alejandro Amenabar ,when he made his highly superior "Tesis" did not fall into this trap!Even "8mm" (with Nicholas Cage) is a masterpiece compared to this piece of trash.

The cast is abysmal;the two cops are ridiculous :one of them is supposed to provide the movie with a comic relief but we do not even know which one ;the muscle man ,who is supposed to be the hero-with-a -painful- past is perhaps worse than his so-called comic partner who treats (sic) whores as princesses and princesses as whores.

Poland has got to find another country to team up with if they want

their cinema to gain a huge international audience.Why not Spain?
