This film starts out good but get's very very slow. A few kills in the beginning but then nothing for a long long time. I'd say more of a drama than a horror film as it's pretty slow and has a little romance thing going on. This movie doesn't even come close to the hype that the title portrays. It's not exactly lame but not far from it. Very slow and drama-like for most part of the movie. I had to ramble and repeat things because this requires that you use a minimum of 10 lines. All I really wanted to say was that this film is pretty slow outside the starting point but then gets really slow soon after. It's a kind of cool story but nowhere as near as notorious as the title offers. I'd almost call it a drama if not for the beginning.
