Nope, didn't like it.
It seemed like the camera techniques were trying to be artsy just for the sake of being artsy. It was a bit gorey but not quite *that* gorey. It was a bit cheezy but not quite *that* cheezy. It made me jump once but wasn't *that* much like a thriller. It had a message in there I guess but didn't put a point to it (like yeah, people are violent/nuts and we all do ourselves in - duh).
We walked out of the theater and B mentioned feeling similar to when we saw Gangs of New York - not really knowing what to think of it. I LOVED Gangs of New York, this one - I'm bummed I used up my free movie passes on it (I didn't even have to pay and was disappointed).
The Boston Phoenix had a review which I guess sums up my take on it: here
I'll just get back to thinking of Johnny Depp and all will be OK :)
