Okay, I can take a lot of violence.
I can handle gory movies, violent action. Movies that don't take it seriously (Tarantino films) or display actual violence correctly (Scorecese films etc.) I can let pass. Horror done correctly, (28 Days Later) I can enjoy. Movies with violence with purpose more than to disgust (Oldboy) I can appreciate. But there are some things that go too far, some violence that makes me sick.
This is the straw that broke the camel's back. Check your taste at the door, we've got a nasty one!
The above movie has no point other than to disgust, to fall into the pit of shame populated by Saw and Hostel and their ilk. I don't feel comfortable discussing the details here, but let me say the movie serves no purpose other to satisfy tasteless gore junkies.
I like to think I have a decently tough stomach, I mean, I sat through Schindler's List (a movie with a PURPOSE), but simply the trailer for this made me feel sick for the entire day. The director even admits it was simply because of a joke between his friends of how to punish child molesters and criminals. How that changed into innocent people being treated in such a fashion is beyond me.
Sorry, needed to vent and I don't have a blog. Though if you feel as I feel, feel free to join my ragefest!
