I was not convinced with the some of the acting but overall this was definately worth watching. The stories were pretty interesting "The caterpiller" was quite disturbing and really proposed an idea of why some people are driven to do such insane things. It makes me think of how we are so quick to judge people as if they are just like us and people all deal with things differently. War and all the oher things in this world can drive people to the point of insanity.
I felt like this film was torn between two etremes. It tended to seem like it took itself seriously at times and then at other times seemed to totally just be going for humoe and or shock value for the sake of it. I think that really didn't settle well with some people.
It was definately visually stunning but I think it relied too much on that. I will update my post later on - i'm still taking in everything I just saw...................

TRIAL BY STONE!!!!...."The Dark Crystal"

I just finished watching this too and I really liked the first movie, Mirror Hell. The Caterpillar however I didn't like. It felt like a stretched out gore-scene.

...Well, honestly I didn't feel very much for the whole of this film. I just came to imdb to see the rating, which I though was fair. Sorry for not posting a deeper review =)

This movie was very different from anything else I have ever seen. I'm not to sure how I felt about the overall movie but I like all the creativity that was put into the film. In the beginning I took the movie serious then near the end with "Crawling Bugs" I found myself laughing. The last scene was wonderful, when they pulled that man out from the dead woman's decaying stomach and he says "what?". Hahaha that was the best. I recommend this movie for anyone that likes Stephen King's "Creep Show" but with an Azn twist.
