What a stupid movie.

I was pleasantly (well, as "pleasant as you can feel about these things) surprised on viewing this. I feel it really lived up to the first one, especially since there were a lot of disappointing rumors going around plot-wise (eg a relative or victim was going to continue Dr. Heiter's work a la the Saw films, or Heiter was going to come back from the dead, haha).

I'm sure that any actor who'd participate in these films would have no afterthoughts about how it looks on their resume. In fact, it's probably attractive to some directors, and they're probably not intending to star in the next big Hollywood hit anyway.

Just my two cents, I thought it was fun, pretty well-made and reasonably clever given the *beep* subject matter.

Agreed, Worst piece of garbage ever. Not worth seeing at all.

Actually, some directors are twisted like that. It would actually increase your chances. Reason being that, you hear directors putting actors on roles or deciding to put actors in the movie, from auditions, by being outlandish and standing out. In these movies, it takes a lot of confidence to submit one's self. Even more so, you see how inexperienced some of the actors/actresses are, especially in the first film, and it is actually a good foundation to build on. For these films, you could get a speaking role, or even in this second one, be totally silent; and still be in a lead role. This to other directors shows 1.) you at least have a demo reel from a movie, 2.) connection with a director that has his name out there, and 3.) the confidence to do something that is so totally out there and 3.) overcoming a part of what an actor/actress would not do in the mainstream.
