COMMENTAIRES
Obviously, neither the director nor the producers can deal with the real horror of the incestuous desire (it takes guts, professionalism, decency and aesthetics to do it), so they came up with that grasshopper-like puppet in this sci-fi story tainted with some softcore elements just to flatter the highly conformist self-centered perversity of the overweighted housewife and her wanker son and husband.
APPRÉCIATION
Avoid.

Votes: 361
COMMENTAIRES :
A bunch of fraternity asssholes and some stupid bitches make bloody encounters in an abandoned industrial building.
Now, why insisting so much on the utter asssholeness of the male victims ? Why all the bitches are so girlishly stupid ? Why their deaths must so much be perceived as a relief from their annoying presence ? Why must everybody in this piece of cinematographic garbage be so typically unlikable ?
There's hatred in this film but not enough cleverness nor talent to handle it.
Acting : no.
Scenario : not really.
Humour : hard to say, too much complaisance prevented the humorous attempts from being effective.
Characters : all despisable.
Nussex : none.
Gore : again, not really.

Tout dans ce film est absolument tiré par les cheveux au point de provoquer une calvitie sanguinolente, malheureusement uniquement en tant qu'image dans le discours, car pas une goutte de sang ne transparaît sur l'écran : apparemment on vise le grand public ici... Tout est tellement forcé qu'il ne reste aucune crédibilité en rien, aucune élégance dans rien : ni dans les prises de vue, simplement nulles, inférieures mêmes à celles des catalogues des agences de voyages ; ni dans une histoire totalement vide de contenu, de trame, de personnages, de but, de faits, de tout ! Bien, mis à part tout ça, j'ajoute qu'il n'y aucune esthétique particulière ou quelque technique originale qui aurait pu sauver un minimum de choses, malgré la séquence de la chute de ce corps assurément très appétissant sur la tente du café qui, je suis sûr, n'est pas passée inaperçue mais qui, hélas, est très loin de suffire, et il n'y a pas non plus la moindre atmosphère pour rendre le tout un peu potable... ben, non, ce film n'a pas une gueule d'atmosphère et la brave Billie a bien raison de le trouver maussade ce dimance...
