There was one instance I had to suspend belief, but hey, it's a movie, and its sins don't compare to what the filmmakers got right. If you want to be pleasantly surprised, though, I'd give this film a go. I don't want to give much away, because honestly I believe this film will do well if the viewer knows as little as possible. There were a few instances where it grew a bit too much for me. It's a bit intense, and the squeamish had every right to stand up and leave. I didn't even know what the movie was until Regal Cinemas invited me in for the screening. I wonder how well this movie will do financially with the little (to none) marketing that's going into it. When there is a breath of fresh air, you as the viewer best take it, because it'll get right back into the thick of it. ![]() This movies holds onto you and doesn't let go.

It's not necessarily gory, though there is a fair amount of blood, but it's sure as hell intense. I'll tell you, this movie pushed my limits for intensity, and I'm none-too-squeamish. I went in knowing very little about it other than its rating and what it was rated for. ![]() I had the opportunity to see this at an advanced screening tonight in the Portland area. ![]()
