Viewing Notes

Heard both good and bad things about this, so figured I’d finally get around to checking it out for myself.

Somewhat surprisingly, I actually liked it quite a bit. Though it’s more or less the same basic “fish out of water gets butchered by the native population” type of horror/torture porn, it does break free with some inventiveness, especially with some great, tense underwater cave chase scenes that were pretty damn cool.

Worth watching unless you can’t stand brutal violence.
