Awesome review from Fangoria!

excerpt:
"Many horror films are looked down upon by the general public as ridiculous and simplistic; while the genre continues to be one of the most popular among audiences, it unfortunately does not attract the caliber of respect that others do. But every once in a while an example comes along that transcends these boundaries, succeeding as not only a really creepy flick but also an effective family drama and history lesson. THE TATTOOIST is one such film. Rent it."

Although "The Tattooist" was a really good movie, I must say that there is a reason that horror movies are looked down on, the characters act stupidly in order to justify a contrived situation. So after being burned so many times by silly horror movies when a really good movie like "The Tattooist" comes along, few are willing to give it a chance until after word of mouth says it is a good movie. Unfortunately, by the time that happens the box office numbers are so bad that the movie is pulled.
