This movie was painful to sit through. The director tried way to hard to make something different, and although the first half hour was mildly interesting, it quickly takes a turn for the worse. It tries to humanize three monsters, and make you sympathize with these murderers. They are completely stupid, and unlikable, but the director wants you to root for them. It completely lacks a sense of humanity, and you quickly realize that although this is a true story, it is simply outrageous in the way it is presented. There were a few bright comedic moments, but there were put in the wrong place, like when they were gruesomely chopping up body parts. The director should be ashamed of himself. If he would have made it so that the bad guys were unlikable, this could be a truly great movie. But instead, he wants you to be their friend...and I say no thanks. This is certainly not what I expected from the trailer either. The movie was a true shame to the cinematic world.
