Only sadism and bloody violance


Well if this is a "good thriller" I am Federico Fellini back from the grave. This is simply a sadistic exercise of gratuite bloody violance. The author and the director must be used to heavy drugs. I will carefully read and remember their names ... just to avoid other waste of time and money.

Ok - you are going to criticize a movie like this when there are movies out there by Quentin Taranteno (spelling?) where I honestly think he wrote a number on a bunch of cubes to stand for scenes, through them at a wall, and then picked them up using that for the order of the movie. This movie involves a very real topic. Do you even know what a brain disorder is and does let alone a tumor? I'm epileptic - basically meaning my brain disfunctions sometimes and it's a very common disorder. What she goes through is very much what hallucinations are like - hell, I've hallucinated and thought bolts on a barn were spiders. And some of the movie is not hallucinations - like she really did kill her husband and sister.

I am sorry but this is about this movie not others. I am not telling that Tarantino's movies are better, simpy i am considering this movie not worth money and time. A movie with gratuite violence and abundance of bloody scenes is a good reason to make me change channel or choice.

Yeah. i have to agree. The movie was poorly scripted, with contrived editing and a story so base as to make me find folding laundry more thrilling.
