this was easily the best horror flick of 2010. fun, grisly, and unique. the gore is pretty minimal. it has some somewhat sexist and racist moments, but it's a horror movie. and it's not a remake yet!(?)

it's a little like TCM on a boat, and a little like titanic without a celion dion soundtrack.

this one won't blow you away, and it's predictable as shit; but not as predictable as other shit....

Why is it that every other country is making some great horror movies, yet the best Hollyworts can do is rehash classics?!?!

Sucks that there's no US distribution:|. This looks like its going to be sweet gory fun. Hopefully there will be a DVD distribution and its not edited heavily.
