Guess no-one took any of that shit seriously the moment they set eyes on slasher guy frothing at the mouth in that peepshow booth. Perhaps the most enigmatic of the nasties, which seems like a strange thing to say about a movie that blows its wad on spurt-laden S&M decapitation scenes.
Had a massive argument with a friend about this. He thought it was utterly dreadful. I felt it wasn't good, but there was something about it. The really weird editing and story jumps felt like the mind of a troubled individual. No grasp on reality.

My mate said it was just bad filmmaking. Maybe he's right, but at the very least, future filmmakers should give it a studious watch.
