Title: Not Shocking - not gruesome - not violent - a lot of hype over nothing
Review: This review is the from the Criterion Edition.Spoiler Alert for horror fans! You watch this expecting a horror film you have spoiled two hours of your life.This is not a horror film. It is not shocking in any sense. There was blood twice and even then it looked fake in the leg scene. If your expectations are a artsy film this may be for you. If you are looking for the promised horror it markets then ugh... Go watch Martyrs. It is still the vanguard for horror brutality and yet retains than 'artsy' feel. (August Underground, Scrapbook, Murder Set Pieces all fall into a different category).I will say the film is beautifully shot and the dialogue is interesting but its just so freaking boring. Between this and Let the Right One in you have the perfect cure for insomnia.
