Viewing Notes
While it certainly dips into exploitation throughout the movie, this is more of a docudrama than I was expecting, and pretty well done. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still gory as hell and there’s some animal cruelty that I should have been prepared for but wasn’t, but it does base the story on the actual historical events.
