Hitting women on the head with a chisel is pretty violent . . .

especially done on a filthy floor. "I saw . ." had its forms of redemption all through the film as the protagonist would let him live only to punish him once again for what he had done.

Curly even bent the chisel a few times. Chisel hits; no big deal!

The plot is so stupid it's unintentionally comic. Big enough plot holes you - tinear 08:53:31 07/12/11 (6)

- Right. And the Chaser has solid plot. - Victor Khomenko 09:36:07 07/12/11 (4)
  You might want to look up the word "objective". Both plots are horribly ridiculous, in keeping with the genre cliches.

      ...is something truly believable.
      
      I already mentioned, both films have tremendous number of holes, that come with the territory. I don't think you can make a case one is less silly in that regard. To me the holes in a film like that don't matter - one doesn't watch a slasher for realism. But what does matter is the question of whether these B movies still have something to offer. In any department.
      
      The Chaser has nothing in that regard, as far as I see. The Devil has strong artistic touch... therefore it wins this ridiculous competition.
      - Your example is one. But the characters follow logic in THAT world. The other? Not at all. It is a - tinear 07:28:22 07/13/11 (0)

        ridiculous premise from the get-go and it goes WAY downhill after that. It could work as "camp," but it's too hideously violent.
    - You aren't even in this discussion....."I saw..." clearly better.... - mr grits 14:27:02 07/12/11 (0)
      despite the fact you liked "The Chaser" better.
      
      The holes in the plot are in your brain.
Not all that imaginative either.. - ArdRi 18:54:25 07/10/11 (0)
If one needs to take stands to have a character of ones own I think I regard the use of prolonged violence evidence of a lack of worthwhile substance in the remainder of the writing.. I don't think that;s any remarkable insight either but It is normally for me a turn off and not by any means because I am squeamish.
