Good: please discuss

i skimmed through all the bad reviews before watching this and wasn't expecting much but my love of 'the abject' and some of that good old fashioned exploitative nudity made me consider this. I'm not saying this is an amazing film, or even that good, but i still found it watchable and with many plus points.

Right now, as the 'grindhouse' explosion happens we will find worse films being made than this that are trying to do that whole thing. this is terribly acted but i feel it may have been mostly improvised (i hope) but that is the nature of improvisation, if you took that away you would lose a lot of the 'so-bad-it's good-ness' of the film. I used to catch exploitation films on Bravo late at night and they used to thrill me - so unusual and sexy. this gets halfway there and i'll admit that i was surprised by this.

the amateur feel adds rather than detracts. How many recent horror films have tried to get down and dirty like the old grindhouse films and failed because they were so glossily and well filmed? that's half of the whole b-movie feel - badly made but strangely appealing - they never delivered what the poster advertised but still had enough in them and this is the same i think. Think about Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) and the feel of it - only because of today's film appreciation standards is it consdidered a masterpiece - with the foresight of metaphor etc. Now no way am i comparing the two but in a general free-wheeling ramble (i'm going where it takes me) you're never gonna make an exploitation classic or even a classic horror film without getting down and dirty - and this film does. that's my main point.

think TCSM, Halloween, Evil Dead.

there was an element of smug knowingness but i don't think the film was anywhere near enough for this to be considered grating. Please let me know your honest, intelligent thoughts because i consider myself a conneseiur (sic) and didn't think i'd ever write this much about this film...
