Anyone seen this movie yet? I watched it a couple nights ago. A lot of people that I talked to who had seen it thought it was either "an excuse for violence" or "just disturbing". I thought it was really well thought out. I'm gonna have to watch it again though, because there were like 13 of us there, and people were talking / laughing the entire movie, so I missed a lot.

It's really good. Poorly acted, but it was made on a budget of 1 million dollars. Danny Glover alone gets that amount per movie usually, so I don't blame anyone for not trying to give an Oscar worthy performance.
The only thing that sucks is, there was a way better version that was left on the cutting room floor in North America because if they didn't cut a bunch of stuff it would have been given a NC-17 rating. Europe and all the film festivals were given the original version and it's supposed to be far superior to the one we have here. Even though I quite enjoyed the version we got. I just won't buy it until I find out if an original or director's cut version will be released, or I might buy a PAL version and convert it to NTSC and just watch my burned copy.

What was the plot of this movie? It's always advertised on Spike TV, but the adds don't really tell you much.

i think it was stupid because: the loser lying in the middle of the floor would have been breathing the whole time
almost everything else was good, so it was a decent movie,
but that's kind of a big thing to not account for.

some psycho takes people who arent happy with their lives and puts them into fucked up places/games where they have almost no chance of escaping.
if they escape they'll have a whole new outlook, just happy to be alive
but otherwise they die in the most brutal ways possible.
the movie focuses on a few people thrown into one of these games, and fucks with your mind like hell for about an hour and a half.
It's pretty good, but i didn't like the ending.

I'm wondering why it's in the serious discussion area, myself.

well for me movies are a serious discussion topic. The only problem is I know way too much about them to actually have a conversation with most people on this board.
With the exception of a few like MageMaida.

oh man, i first saw this movie on my friends computer in her tiny dorm room with no lights on, with two other people huddled on the bed at 2am. i thought this movie was the scariest thing ever. i had nightmares thinking that dude was going to come after me. but, i bought the movie when it came out, and it wasn't as scary the second time. i liked it.

i just saw this last night. when it was dark. and i was alone.
of course, that sounds like i woulda been scared out of my mind, but really, i wasn't.
it just screwed with my brain,
i still loved it, though.

I want to know how....
a saw cuts through healthy bone but not some old rusty pipes! Of course the idiot only tries to cut the chain, not the RUSTY PIPES THEY ARE TIED TO!!
That is all.

the idiot lying in the middle of the floor managed not to breathe the whole time.
There were a few stupid things like that. i think i talked about them in the old thread
either way i'm looking forward to number 2.
