For about 3 years i have been dying to see this movie. The reviews that i have read qouted: " I have never had a harder time getting through a movie than this. Without doubt the most violent and brutal movie i have ever seen"
So when i found in local dvd shop in copenhagen, where i live, two days ago, my heart stopped. I had to get this movie. I bought it, hurried home and plugged in my dvd player. I was first impressed by it's total primitive almost kinda documentary footage of the forrest. It made me think of the beggining of films such as " Texas chainsaw..." But ín a while it accured to me that this was a total piece of overrated crap!!! This movie shows that if you want to create a movie that creeps under your skin you gotta have actors that have a sense realistic tone in their screams and painfull moments. And to have a minimalistic score. I mean exploitation and horror/rape cinema does NOT fit with a theme song that make you think of mammas and the pappas. I must admit that the scene where Krug slit his name in Mari's skin had an impact on me. But it did'n get me sleepless... Don't think that i'm talking bad about wes craven, cause i love his other works such as Hills have eyes or the Freddy flicks...
