Quotes:

Kyra: Kolobos. It means "mutilated." Some would say it's what Zeus did when he severed the first creatures who roamed the earth in two, condemning them to wander in search of their better half. But others believe he created divine beauty, for in severing the beast, he created man and woman.

High Tech gorefest........

A surprisingly good horror movie about 5 young people who answer a classified ad to come to an out of the way house and let themselves be filmed just interacting with each other. The house is boobie trapped with all sorts of high tech gizmos and what follows is a wonderfully inventive, well acted film. This one rates high on the gore-meter, when the killing starts. We get disembowlment, decapitation and acid showers among other things. I passed this movie up several times recently on cable and finally decided to rent it when I saw it at my local video store. I thought I was scraping the bottom of the barrel because I had seen everything else in the horror section. Just goes to show that sometimes the bottom of the barrel has a gem in it.....
