It's pretty gory and, despite being an obvious 'Hostel' rip, throws a couple of Yakuza action type diversions into the pot as well. I was a little surprised to find it uncut in the uk, but I guess it doesn't go THAT far. Well, anyone checking this out probably knows what they're getting into so is unlikely to care too much about the shitty acting and awful shot on video look, but, on this last point, I have to say that the uk DVD presentation sucks big time. Still worth a look for Nicholson fans.

I too enjoyed
Live Feed. It was a Poundland pick up a few years ago. As you say the shot on video look nearly kills it but i also felt it gave the torture scenes a tad more realism, as if the assailants were filming it for some grubby internet feed, but it didn't exactly enhance the rest of the movie.
I thought i was the only one who didn't loathe this film. Pleased there are other kindred spirits.
