Brilliant. The plot, the style, loved everything about this grim story of revenge.
No one has reviewed this? Ok. I will consider the likelihood of cultural differences that inform the pacing of this film, but I was bored. Rather than a build-up or a pervasive sense of dread, we jarringly go from exposition dumps in uninteresting scenes to gore. The gore itself could have been very successful but was cheapened by bad CGI. A good effort that some will enjoy, but a disappointment.
started off slow. then all hell broke loose. let's just say it was worth waiting for... gruesome. gory AF. especially that bug scene. ew. definitely not for the faint of heart, which luckily, my heart isn't faint. my heart is dark like that demon thing person thing. hopefully, i wont have my head chopped off and caught on fire. Anyway, four skulls for the ending. FBI don't come for me.
Excellent film. Slow burn then hits you with everything.
Excellent, really excellent. The introduction to the characters and the set up is interesting and then when it all kicks off it’s quite brutal.
