8/10
Be careful with this one

This is purely an assumption on my part, but I bet the director grew up with exploitation movies. I do enjoy it when they use what they've learned from them to make something unique.

Now, as the subject line suggest, this might go a bit far for some... most people. If a movie ever needed a parental guidance page, this is it. There's extreme sex, drugs, a lot of alcohol and we are in no way protected from seeing the results of the quite horrific violence. So, beware. Oh yeah, the there's smoking. That being said, if you don't mind all of this, I think you'll enjoy this movie.

It looks great for it's budget. You sort of know where it's going at all times, but not quite. It always manages to go just a little bit further. This is exploitation, so it's all about eliciting strong reactions, but the movie manages to use those shocks to construct something very memorable and interesting.

This definitely isn't a date movie. You really need someone as dead inside as myself to enjoy this, but for those few of us, this is definitely worh seeking out.
