This should be at least a 6


I have a feeling the raciness downed the rating from the simpleton prudes

I'm quite puzzled at this movie only being rated a 5.8...I thought it was an original, imaginative, & creepy Sci-Fi flick with incredible special effects. The acting was super & DREN was so well played while the ending was truly shocking.

Indeed.

It grossed the mainstream audiences out, basically.

I went into this movie expecting the sex scene with Adrian Brody, but i was ultimately curious so I watched it.

I can say, I do not understand the controversy? Dren is basically a woman with wings and a tail, and the "rape" at the end of the film was hardly graphic. People don't seem to mind rated R violence these days, but a man with wings and a tail on top of a woman, inseminating her with his tail for 2 seconds is made into a huge deal.

I thought it was a great climax to the whole "playing god" theme, they messed with nature and it got personal. Not to mention to character Dren herself was very well done. You essentially watched her grow up and cared for her, and could see why she would be frustrated.
