Angel with the Scabbed Wings.

Warning: Spoilers
Gathering up Horror movies with "epic" running times to view for the Horror Challenge on IMDb's Horror board,I spotted an epic title that a fellow IMDber had kindly sent me,which led to me getting ready to meet the melancholy angel.

The plot:

Meeting up for the first time in years,2 old friends decide to go to a carnival.Walking round the carnival,the two guys catch the eyes of two women,who they end up inviting back to their place.Taken by their charms,the two women follow the guys back to their den,in an isolated woodland area.Entering the den,the women soon discover that they have entered a den of sadism and death.

View on the film:

Shoving the audiences faces deep into the characters depravity,co- writer/ (along with Frank Oliver) director Marian Dora uses chopped- off,fragmented angles to display the complete loss of sanity which the characters are under,that also stop the viewer from ever getting a full clear view of the demented characters.Running for over 2 and a half hours,Dora attempts to unleash a "shock and awe" attack on the viewer,as Dora matches religious mumbling's with ruthless acts of aggression,which include the horrific killing of a cat (who gives the best performance in the whole film.)

After showing the viewer everything on offer within the opening 30 minutes,Dora spends the next 2 hours constantly going over the same spot over and over again,which ends up taking the bite out of the title,thanks to Dora leaving behind any sense of experimental filming styles,plot or character building,by letting things boil down to Dora poking a bit of road kill with a stick for 158 minutes.
