    It's been a VERY long time since I've seen it, but I remember not minding it. Some good gory shiz in there.

    I didn't care for the characters so the violence didn't affect me.


    Spoiler...
    I know Yasmine is pregnant, and they get tortured in extremely awful ways, but that doesn't really mean much. The political context doesn't seem to really add anything to the story beyond the very beginning, and the two guys who get seduced by the girls at the inn pretty much deserved to die because they were so stupid. They have a dinner scene just like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and you learn the basics about the crazy family, one of whom is predictably sympathetic. I did like the rejected children in the mine, but they don't really do anything. They don't kill Farid, and it's clear they're really not a threat anymore by the time Yasmine is down there. The actress who plays Yasmine gives a great performance, but the story is nothing new so it's pointless. You know what's coming. I'm too desensitized to torture scenes for them to shock me unless I feel like I actually know the characters and they seem like real three-dimensional human beings. In a movie like this, I'm always just waiting for the victims to fight back, but of course, all of them except one will die (I'm not counting Eva since she was pretty much part of the family by then and didn't get tortured in any scenes we saw). Also, you know no one can escape until the end. I did like Yasmine biting and tearing out Gilberte's throat in the finale although it seemed silly Gilberte survived the explosion. Overall, I didn't enjoy it. I'm tired of dumb characters going someplace they shouldn't, meeting a bunch of psychos or a monster, and getting tortured/killed. To each their own though. The FX, acting, cinematography, sound, etc. was fine. I just want more from the story and characters.

    I found this a bit boring. As others have said the premise is way over done and the gore for me was so forgettable it couldn't make up for the lack of originality.

    Each to their own really. Interesting to note the opinion of a non-horror viewer.

    I feel in ways this is the same as what happened in the 80s with slasher films, and view it as such, seen it all before but like it anyway.

    I really liked it. Same old story, but I'm a big fan of themes like this one, so I was pleased with it.

    if you like the extreme french films, then this film is a can't miss ... not as good a screenplay as some of the others but definately as horrific and scary as the others. Took place during the French riots a few years back.

    I saw this a while back, don't remember too much except the fact that it was a slasher-ish film. But I saw "Sheitan" and that stuck in my head longer than this movie. (I like to put myself in the situation and see what I'd do...)
