I watched this when I was about 14 (20 years ago) when the internet and chat rooms (especially for my age group) were beginning to enter every American home and accessible to the younger generations. I viewed it at a friend's house and remember the creepy feeling I had after it finished. I still remember all these years later, after only watching it once, specific moments that stayed with me. (Not unlike Kids or Requiem for a Dream where one viewing will haunt you forever.) The scene where a woman is tortured so cruelly that she screams and rips her lips open that had been sewed shut is still so vivid to me. It seems like the movie is getting a bad rap due to the graphic nature of the film, but that is exactly what the point was. So if you don't like gore it's simple, don't watch this movie. But if you like small budget horror flicks that have the potential to actually creep you out and leave a lasting impression, I would reccomend checking it out!
