An average movie

I didn't have some huge expectations regarding this feature but since the ratings were rather decent, I thought I should give it a try. Honestly, I haven't seen the original version but I do hope it is better than this remake. I mean, it was not really bad, the directing was solid and the actors did a decent job but it really felt like a very weak version of 'Funny Games' which is one of my all time favorites (the original version, not the remake). It was indeed pretty violent with a rape, some mutilations and a few kills and, even though, it was all very well done from a technical point of view, I couldn't care less about the whole thing. And what was this about the sexy shots of Sara Paxton earlier in the movie?! Are we supposed to get aroused before she gets raped?!? And don't even start with the infamous macrowave scene at the end... Except from Justin (played by Spencer Treat Clark) which was a rather interesting character, I didn't care much about the others, victims or executioners. Basically, it was one of those rather tedious torture-porn flicks which inflict you one nauseous scene after the other just to see how much you can take. Unfortunately, I was never interested in this genre. To conclude, I have seen worse but this one was still pretty damned average and I don't think it is really worth a look.
