The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011, 30%) Increasingly tedious displays of gore make this torture porn home-invasion-horror more programmatic than provocative. Well-shot exploitation that has less purpose and utility than in 1978. Saw II is likely to please the gore-happy fans of the original, though it may be too gruesome for those not familiar with first film’s premise.
It won’t earn the franchise many new fans, but Saw VI is a surprising step up for what has become an intricately grisly annual tradition. Offering up more of the familiar sadism and gore, Hostel: Part II will surely thrill horror fans.Įxcessive and gory, this remake lacks the intellectual punch of the 1972 original. Saw is more than nasty enough for genre junkies, but far too twisted, gory, and shallow for more discerning horror fans.Ī pointless shocker and societal allegory, a film whose imagery is so gruesome as to leave you scarred for life…or rolling your eyes for 100 minutes. Grotesque, visceral and hard to (ahem) swallow, this surgical horror doesn’t quite earn its stripes because the gross-outs overwhelm and devalue everything else. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2010, 49%) Perhaps slapdash with its aspirations toward message-making, this ultra-gory horror flick nonetheless delivers the bloody goods.Ī real polarising movie, this Gallic torture-porn is graphic, brutal, nasty and gruesome and not to everyone’s taste.įaster paced for today’s audiences, this Hills remake ratchets up the gore for the hardcore horror fans, but will turn away casual audiences. Though restrained by most torture porn standards, Would You Rather‘s brilliant premise is ultimately harmed by its tendency towards blood and guts. A spicy take from south of the border that sagely keeps its torture pornin’ for the gruesome final act.Ī mot juste of French New Extremity, you’ll never look at stabbing a pregnant woman in the stomach with scissors the same way ever again.įeaturing lots of guts and gore, Hostel is a wildly entertaining corpse-filled journey - assuming one is entertained by corpses, guts, and gore, that is.
