As a Polish person, I'm a little bit offended


For the record, we do not speak russian nor do we speak Polish with a russian accent. (They could have hired Poles to play Poles instead of other nationalities). We know what jeans are and wear them - women do not all wear dresses or skirts all the time. I have never seen, outside a museum), a gun as old as the one used in the movie (what is it, from the IIWW??) and never seen anyone just rndomly have a crossbow (or whatever it was, I don't know much about that stuff).

I'm not complaining about the weird religious aspects (we do not worship the devil and priests do not wear big hats unless it's a bishop) because that was part of the plot and the plot was fine. It's just that I think it would have worked as well with an authentic Easter European background. No need for making us seem like we still live in medevial times ;)

This movie is nothing more than c.rap, pure and simple.

Typical ignorant Americans flaunting what they think European countries and their countrymen are like. As always they're clueless!!

You're really really stupid. And annoying too.

CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre.

Liar!

All poles are evil, including part of my family!

I agree Op. I'm black and live down the street from Central and Belmont, and Polish people don't sound like that. I have went to school with polish people in the late 80's and 90's

Do you seriously expect Poles in Chicago to sound like the ones in Poland?

reply

I'm Polish and I wasn't offended at all. Because I'm not a sensitive snowflake.
