From what I understand this was originally shown on a Canadian cable channel so I guess that explains the nudity and gore. Anyways, agree with you 100%; might have even liked it less.<br /><br />I found it extremely funny that it was such a big deal to put this horror film festival back on a few years after the murders. It appears that there are only about twenty people living in the town so not so sure as to why this was such a big deal. I also love how they make it out that Davis's film is a big premiere and if it is then why would it premiere here? I don't see one of the "Saw" sequels getting their world premiere screening in Butte, Montana. I have nothing personally against Butte; just the random city that popped in my head.<br /><br />Also, barely anyone in this film seems to care either way about what is going on. Even most of the victims act very nonchalant when they are being killed. The one crazy dude who showed any kind of personality (which does not equal good acting skills, mind you) ends up being the first one killed off.<br /><br />I've probably given this film more dissecting than it deserves, but it's just such a bizzare exercise. It's like someone asked a group of people "Hey, you want to make a movie this weekend," and everyone shrugged their shoulders and said "Sure, why not?" Strange movie indeed.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.com
