Agreed.
I think many who believe it's absolutely bottom-of-the-barrel stuff in terms of technical approach and performances haven't seen a whole lot of low-to-no budget horror flicks.

if I remember correctly, the director is Dutch or Danish or something. Europeans make great horror.

you should see a French film called "Martyrs".
I was quite looking forward to the sequel, guaranteed to be crap but good for a giggle none the less.

That is exactly what I thought of when I saw the title of this thread!
Morbid curiosity, i'll admit straight away i'm guilty of it, same reason most of us slow down at a car accident to try and see "something".
I hardly think the two are comparable.

It was a very base example but you follow my meaning...yes?
I love horror movies, probably because I had an a'hole of a stepdad who used to think it would be funny to show them to me when I was 4-6 years old, they used to terrify me.
However, as that was my early years, it embedded something in me that loves horror to this day. Most horror I find particularly boring and doesn't actually horrify. So when a movie comes along like this, I eagerly await it to see what reaction it provokes.
I like films that provoke an emotional reaction both good and bad, most films these days are by the numbers affairs where you can already see what's going to happen. This doesn't just apply to horror, all cinema is guilty of this.
FTR...i've watched A Serbian Film and it messed with my head pretty bad, it is a twisted movie with some extremely shocking moments. It is also however an extremely well crafted movie and has a lot more to it than just the shock moments. I won't go into it further, A Serbian Film has been discussed to death and I don't want to change anyones feelings about it.
All I will say in closing is that I really wish people would actually watch a movie before passing judgement, regardless of what they've heard, you can't objectively judge a film until you've seen it.

Kyle:

Cuttlefish and asparagus?
Anyone else seen it yet?
I saw it last night and thought it was terrible, spoilers below...
I suppose they succeeded in creating a character that was about as ugly and twisted as they could, but it was probably taking things a bit too far. The other issue with him was that many of the other characters in the film were complete arses, which made you wonder whether we were actually supposed to be feeling sorry for him half the time. Given that he was raped by his Father, everyone treated him terribly and the weird Doctor wanted to do things to him, it kind of leaves you puzzled as I don't want to feel sorry for the guy.
There were many things that just made no sense to me:
- Since when did UK Car Parking attendants carry guns?
- He repeatedly kills people at his place of work, not once did any missing persons reports link it back to that they all went to that Garage?
- He kills the owner of the Warehouse... surely when reported missing, that would be one of the first places they would look.
- Why did they use fake visual effects of rain, it clearly wasn't raining and looked terrible.
- Even B-Movie actresses wouldn't expect to be picked up from the airport in a small workman's van, by a crazy looking guy who doesn't even talk.
The film just felt slow, it just took ages with him building up to making his Centipede, it was just full of unnecessary violence and disgusting images, purely just for the sake of it.
There was absolutely nothing to enjoy about this film.

I'm not defending the movie at all as it was awful by comparison to a pretty solid first film, however...
the whole thing was twisted fantasy in his mind, he never actually acted upon any of it, therefore you can kind of explain away the bad plot holes in that way.
