Full Review Page

One of the most controversial films of all time, it's lost a lot of its impact since the 80's. While there are some disturbing scenes, the gore is pretty tame by today's standards. The only thing I can see as still being highly controversial is the legitimate animal cruelty in the movie. Of course all of the human violence is just acting and effects, but the killing of animals is not; there are actual animals being actually killed on screen. Many physical releases now offer "Animal Cruelty-Free cuts" that eliminate these handful of scenes. The plot is a lot more interesting and thoughtful than I expected for one of the notorious "Video Nasties" and actually asks some thought provoking questions. The film is still disturbing (although not nearly as convincing in 2018) but the acting is pretty bad in parts. While not a film that I can imagine watching over and over, It's certainly an experience.
