Exceedingly violent, exceedingly brutal and exceedingly sadistic! It's a film that literally glamorizes sadistic brutality and torture! And it's very difficult to watch. For me, nothing in it is entertaining, nor worthy of remembering. If you think 'Hostel' is mindless and unnecessarily brutal, this film is even more heinous and with more perverted violence! It seems to have a desperate need to drive the audience into a state of anxiety and shock. Do we really need to see Marcus Dunstan's gratuitous on screen violence and brutalities to deal with during our current economic turmoil? Frankly, I don't think so! We shouldn't welcome inhumane tortures and brutal abuses in real life; we don't need to see them in films. This film is, perhaps, reflective of the twisted and warped mentalities of Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton?
None of the cast members in this film does offer memorable or praiseworthy acting talents. The film basically is clustered with scenes of barbarous acts of killing, of gruesome traps, chasing or being chased, and a series of hide-and seek rigmaroles. Dialog is scanty and trasy, and basically a composite of groans and screams. It doesn't really take any experienced actor to take on any of this film's roles. Even Josh Stewart, as the main protagonist, clearly lacks emotional expressiveness!
It'd be hilarious if Dunstan and Melton should decide to offer a sequel of this awful film. What can they offer, except for the same opening with their 'evil' box landing in another address and the rest of the film with more glamorization of inhumane tortures and brutality in a crappy with lame dialog and ridiculous characters.
I'm surprised that this disgusting film is not rated NC-17.
