I wanted to check out something crazy and gory, but not quite so glum like say Cannibal Holocaust. It might still not be a particularly joyful story though. Steven Sheil has only one other film of which I've never heard of. Other than that I really don't know much else. Let's see if it was worth the choice.
Yeah that definitely wasn't very joyful. It's also much different than I was expecting. The gore wasn't insane as you would expect. Although when things happened was particularly brutal. The way it is shot kind of gives it a more realistic feel as well. I found some shots and scenes were done very uniquely. Some things were pretty gross like one particular thing with the meat. I thought the concept was brilliantly disturbing. There were some great little turn of events. The ending was insane but well done.
The family here was quite messed up and just sick. The acting is great though. Our lead doesn't do much talking, but her emotion acting was excellent. Honestly besides her the only other character I liked was Elbie. I felt bad for him because he was so brainwashed and broken that he was too scared to defy the family. Dad was one of the most disturbing characters with some really gross habits. Mum was a little softer, but don't take that for granted. Birdie was just so messed up that she could pass as normal until she was out of the open. I felt bad for the other sister though. Anyways the characters are definitely interesting.
This was quite disturbing and totally not what I had expected. The style of the story is unique. The concept itself is actually something different and creepy. The characters were all very interesting albeit complete sickos. I thought the ending was quite good and insane. It's not a great film, but it definitely keeps you from being bored.
