What’s more, it should be commended for its sweet climax, abrasive music and gutsy, uncompromising approach: you don’t often see 10-year-old girls repeatedly stabbed with a butcher knife and their faces sliced with a razor. The version distributed by Lionsgate had to be trimmed by 23 minutes to receive an R-rating, but the 91-minute-long director’s cut has by now become available.
Even the tamer cut got the film banned in the UK, Ireland, Canada, France and Norway. Look for cameos by Gunnar Hansen (as a Nazi mechanic) and Tony Todd ( Candyman) as a clerk at an adult book store.
27, 2019 Last Modified: Jan.It was nasty, gratuitous, violent, and extreme. It was also exceptionally well made, with a generally good (if rather hammy at times) lead performance, but there's nothing deep and meaningful here in the killers' make-up. The FX were okay, but were mostly just blood. What was there was well done though and shot so as to add to the realism. Nice soundtrack, nice cameos by Tony Todd and especially Gunnar Hansen, who is normally given crap to do.īUT.it was not some wondrous look into the mind of a killer as some people (normally with an agenda) have said.īut then again perhaps there is not much TO look into. End of.īut even if that's the case it obviously negates any deep delving into his psyche because there is nothing there to delve for.Īlso, I was not emotionally pained by the murder scenes. They left no lasting impression at all and I never felt the TRAGEDY of it all.
YES it was gory, bloody, chaotic and violent.
NO it did not disturb me as it should have.Įven with a young girl knifed in the stomach.there was nothing in "MSP" to compare to, say, the dinner scene in the original "TCM" which was far more brutal, oppressive and bludgeoning than any of the deaths in "MSP".
