A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I watched this film based on the trailer and perhaps the trailer ruined it for me. Most of the kills are shown in the trailer so there weren't much new to see in the film. The kills are few and far spaced out in between each other with the longest dry spot happens soon after the first two murdered victims. Because of this, the film doesn't build any kind of momentum and the dialog feels monotonous, the whole film was very sluggish for me. The comedy is dim-witted and not very funny. Having said that, the special effects and methods of the kills are very good, gory and creative, but not enough to make up for what seem to be an arduous viewing. If this film came up on cable TV, I would tell a friend to shut off the television and just go for a walk outside.

At first glance you get a few flat cliché characters, such as a hilarious "British bully"-type guy, a shy emo girl, an adult man who can't get the kids in control and tries to connect with them to no avail... It's not too bad the chemistry of the characters, but certainly not the best, it does the job to keep the plot watchable until the real stuff we came to watch starts.Anyways those characters encounter some problems, you've seen it in countless other movies - GPS loses their location (which was realistic because I had a similar experience the one time I visited the UK and had to drive slightly out of London) - phones get lost somewhere, the locals are sketchy. Convenient!But after a long and boring beginning and bland character backstory introduction and interaction - the fun begins. And I tell ya, there's quite a few laughs in that movie, the ending part made it worth watching trough all the boring stuff - no question about it. I won't spoil the fun, but fun it is.If you enjoy dark humor - this is pretty good! They could have gotten a bit more creative and in-depth with the kills, but were still quite out of the box to an extent.So if you fancy some gore and a few laughs - you should check it out. Feel free to skip trough to the fun stuff - as the rest is just filler that doesn't really add anything to the experience.

I'm saying 6 because it's not a GREAT movie, but for it's genre, it should get an 8. This is what Rob Zombie wishes his movies looked like. I actually sat down and watched it start to finish, which rarely happens. Lots of "awful" humor, which is actually funny, and just enough disturbing things to make you comfortable. It's one of those films where you can't be sure you know where it's going, and then it goes where you knew it would go, but then it takes a turn and then it's back to where you knew where it was going again. It's no masterpiece but it's great for what it is. Give it a look-see, you'll like it.

I knew that this would not be a good film when 2 minutes passed and we already had some cliché, as the GPS stopped working, though cellphones did not. At first characters were a little washed, but I was hoping for them to develop later. That did not occur, with some very minor exceptions, the characters, especially the young ones, were all the same, except for the differences in sex and colour. The woman, who plays the role of the female social worker, did indeed have time to develop a little bit her character,and could get a point more. The rest as the story, is nonsense, an a slayer and torture film, a la Saw, so, if you are into this type of films, you can go and rent it, you will not be disappointed. Otherwise, skip it.
