This is crazy even by Tarantino's standards

If you're into a ton of gore and just skin crawling disgust, then this would be the movie for you. This is the first Tarantino movie that's not even the least bit able to poke fun at its low budget feel and excessive gore, though. It does accomplish its task of being a true "horror" movie, though...haven't seen anything that rates so high on the "disgust-o-meter" in a long, long while. It was so bad my wife actually went to the bathroom and apparently dry heaved for a couple minutes following a particularly nasty scene.

The plot itself was thin (as usual), the acting was...alright, but nobody could save this story. The visuals, while I didn't like them, were on par with what I expected. Overall though? Pay the 3 bucks to rent it next Halloween. Definitely not worth 10 bucks a ticket.
