Big thanks. Yeah, I'm happy that for the most part, the reviews of the Blu-Ray and standard definition DVD have more then solid or at least solid.
I know for some big time genre fanatics like us, it didn't live up to the hype, but I'm sorry, it was a damn fine film for it's final running time. I honestly would have like for it to go on about another 15-or-so minutes, with some more fleshed out characters, but it IS damn well shot, mostly well written, had solid E.C. Comic book type atmosphere and shocks, and an effective original score and hot women. If people prefer more pointless torture films to this or less profesisonal shot Full Moon studios type no budget efforts, then I don't know what to say to'em.
It shall become a Halloween seasonal stable around my apartment and future household, as I plan to grab another copy or two in the coming weeks to hold onto, as it's a new favorite film of mine, in the top twenty or so. I'm sorry that to some it didn't live up to the hype, but I honestly don't get the few reviews online that hated it. I mean in THIS day & age of pointless remakes and one too many genre film sequels to franchises that needed to die off in the mid '90s, it's more then fitting and great seasonal entertainment. Maybe we'll even get a longer director's cut down the road.
And I almost forgot: Indeed, Hollywood has truely gone even more downhill ove the last 15 years or so (there's that time frame again, I know). They TRUELY fuck up a lot these days. I barely go to the multiplex maybe twice a year now, unless I know it'll be original and interesting in the vain of Inglourious Basterds, ect. I can't be bothered to pay nearly $14 for an adult ticket these days ofr routine entertainment that isn't really my bag. Oh and I see I made some simply mistakes in my last message, such as meanign to say "Trust me,..." at the end and I also meant "massive sequel potential" in there. My bad.
