Why would anyone watch this?


I don't mind extreme cinema, but this just sounds try hard and going for nothing but shock value.

You pretty much nailed it. As a fairly grizzled horror fan who ranks Henry: PoaSK and Snowtown as horribly gruesome but great films, this is just gore for its own sake and boring, imo. 2/10.

I've only seen clips on Youtube, but I would never bother with watching the whole thing.

What really puzzles me is that a bunch of people worked really hard for months or years on this with the belief that this was a worthwhile movie. I don't think I would ever want to meet someone who viewed this project as their "baby".

I can't imagine being proud of having my name attached to something like this.

Did some loser poggerz Twitch streamer talk about this movie or something?

It's an interesting format and creatively enough done. It's like Man Bites Dog done in a more sleazy way. Doesn't seem like it cost that much to make but they made it super memorable. It wanted to be disgusting and they succeed.

reply

Man Bites Dog was decent. Disturbing for sure, but that at least had some effort to form a narrative around it.

It's supposed to resemble a video tape the cops would find in a killers bedroom.

You can't really make a strict 3 act story with that. It's supposed to feel disjointed.
