Supremely original and inventive., 30 November 2008
8/10

I had no idea what I was in for with this one and I was really impressed. There was actually a point in "Anguish" that I got a little nervous.

It begins as a disturbed mama's boy goes crazy and, with the help of his uber-creepy mommy, starts offing people and cutting out their eyes. It's disgusting too, almost Fulci-esquire on the gore level at times. Then, there is the twist. I won't spoil it, but I will say this: I was not expecting it at all. I think it made the movie a lot more interesting and enjoyable.

The most confusing thing to me about this film is the fact that I had never heard of it before. What the hell? It's very well done and original, great acting and awesome plot. Where has this been hiding? Thank you Blue Underground.

8 out of 10, kids.
