She couldnt quite place the movie anywhere.<br /><br />It had a bit of gore to it, especially towards the end...but i dont think it was meant to be a gore-fest, I think its just meant to freak you out, make you uncomfortable because of how weird it is. Also, that image of the Walrus, and the noise that it made was so disconcerting. <br /><br />Agree about the detective, he's a strange character, seems like something straight out of another movie, but I guess it adds to the films off kilter quality, it's not playing by any rules, the movie just wants to be bat shit insane, I think it achieved that.

I have to say, I didn't really care too much for it, for a number of reasons. First of all, I didn't find it all that shocking, just more weird. It was uncomfortable more than anything, and I guess I was expecting more of a horror film. Secondly, there was no gore, which was strange to me. Sure, some cool makeup effects work, but nothing on the "horror" genre level you'd expect. And third, when the detective character comes into play halfway through, it's like he was in a totally different movie! Totally changed the vibe and tone of the film from then on. I don't know, when it was done we looked at each other and the only thing we could say was "hhmm, that was a weird one". LOL. But.....to each their own right? robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.com
