This is a depiction of a very-realistic type of violence and dementia, much less scary than it is offendingly grotesque.
Realistic depictions of people being tortured, in my opinion, happen to be quite funny. I think there should be more movies like this. Other topics that need to occur more often in movies are: rape, cannibalism, ritual sacrifices, the killing of a nun at a convent by raping her with a pointy stick until she dies.

I sort of agree, but I wouldn't go as far as to accuse people of being 'sick' for wanting to see it.  Saw was similar to this, it seems.  I rather liked that movie, but it was pretty gross.

I am a sick bastard and am not afraid to admit it.

At least you're honest, Hitmen.

I don't see how anyone could be considered "sick" for watching a movie.  Someone who watches pornography too much could be considered "sick".  I don't see this as something that I would take to heart and then go out and start slaughtering people, movies are meant to be entertainment, I want to watch this because I believe it will keep me entertained.  Your opinion of "sick" is you're opinion, don't come around here demeaning people because they want to see a movie that you do not, or disagree with the storyline.

I think most people's definition of "sick" constitutes being entertained by viewing realistic scenes of torture. I know for a fact that these movies aim at nothing story-line wise, so you have no basis that "you like the story". If you're that easy to please, read Harvey Boys.

No, people's definition of "sick" (from what I've seen) mostly relates to weird sexual things like buttsex and the like.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Two adventurous American college buddies backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they’ve met along the way. They are lured by a fellow traveler to a hostel in an out-of-the-way town. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily

Grabs my attention, please try and restrict yourself from posting in my topics, I don't like the negativity you show towards everything that you don't agree with.

[EDIT] Slightly reminds my of 'House of Wax' , the whole luring to an "out-of-the-way" town.

I personally feel that, since I am an administrator on this forum, I have the priviledge of posting where I choose, when I choose. You are a guest here, as a non-member, and have no right to restrict my actions.

Personally, I'm offended. I don't agree with many things on these forums, only a few piss me off enough to publically defend my position and start a discussion about the subjects. This is one of them, and I doubt you have been involved with the other discussions to understand my point of view. In short: No, I will not "restrict myself from posting" anywhere, you can deal with my posts just like I have to deal with yours.

I saw it, its really not as bad as every admitted to. Most of the gore scenes were faded away as it happened, and the first half of the movie is nothing but tits and ass.
