awsome
This movie makes 'devils Rejects' 'Wolf Creek' and all the other nex-gen video nasties look like fluffy cuddly kids films.
The 1st half of the film is a bit of a confusing mix of american road trip comedy films and soft porn but gradually your smile will drop as the film decends into a squalid,depraved nightmarish world of unthinkable torture and violence.
And this is where it gets good its one of those films thet is so disgusting that you find yourself laughing and reaching at the same time and when the end credit finally role your left staring at the screen in disbelief trying to comprehend what you've just seen.
It goes with out saying this is not for the faint hearted but for anyone else who grew up intrigued by banned video nasties of the 70's and 80's strap your self in your chair and prepare to witness the most unflinching grotesque powerhouse of a horror movie your ever likely to see. -
