Cut-price horror with a sadistic streak. Being extreme in your imagery is the usual mode of operation for fledgling British directors these days, so its disheartening to find this is another bolt into that particular hole. How do I get myself known? Lets elevate a few easily raised eyebrows. Like other people on here I found that I had come across all this before and imagery and ideas were old and stale. Who exactly is it aimed for? An attempt to make a comment on our society? In my opinion, it was just tacky and tasteless. It depends I suppose, if you find cruelty hilarious? Regardless of that, a film also has to overcome its budget limitations, something the Brits don't seem able to achieve. How much the film cost is irrelevant to the man in the street who pays his dollars at the cinema. Derivative, is too generous a word for it, but its worst fault is a lethal deficiency in story-telling momentum.
