Reviews

Hahahahaha! I'm still laughing from just how gross-out Sir Peter Jackson's first two films are! He sure has come a long way since then! Just imagine if the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, as well as King Kong, were helmed by him back THEN! =)

**A disgusting movie. Not recommended after meals.** What can I say after seeing this movie? Guess I shouldn't have seen this after dinner. The film is disgusting, perhaps one of the most disgusting I have ever seen. I say this for the worst reasons. It really is a film that makes you vomit due ...

This is both the funniest and the goriest horror movie I have ever come across. It's also the _only_ horror movie my wife will watch (we own the DVD and have watched it together multiple times). Not for the squeamish!
