To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie but I remember it very well. Indeed, it was the first movie directed by Peter Jackson that I had the pleasure to see and I really loved the damned thing. The first time I watched it, I must have been 13-14 years old and I had definitely never seen something similar before. I mean, such a combination of horror and comedy was quite unknown to me at that point. Above all, the nastiness, the over-the-topness of the whole thing was just really impressive. I remember watching this thinking 'How could they get away with this?!?' but, then, a scene even worse would show up and it kept going on and on... Back then, I watched it many times and it became a huge cult-classic for me and my buddies. It was the last time Peter Jackson made something in this genre and I wonder if he'll ever do again something similar in the future but I highly doubt it which is too bad. Anyway, to conclude, even though it seems to be rather forgotten nowadays, I really loved the damned thing and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Peter Jacksonโs work.ย
