I thought it was a good retelling of the MM tale. Sure, the chicks were sluts but that makes them automatically "deserving" of their fate -- cinematically speaking.
What was a kick was all the "has been's" in the cast: Udo Keir, Dee Wallace, Brad Douriff, Malcolm McDowell, and other familiar character faces. This is a Hall of Fame for blasts-from-the-past. They went to some trouble to pull these folks off life support.
I guess I'm jaded but I didn't find the violence and blood that horrific and the ending made you wonder.
I don't recommend it to Dom and monocle crowd but if you are a MM fan it's a must see. AAMOF, one of the ticket taker freaks at my local Regal has already seen it three times and dressed up like Mike for a late night show.
