I've seen this flick not to long ago, and although I liked some parts of it, I think overall it was pretty bad.
I should clarify that I've read Barker's original short story, so that might play a part in my opinion. However, I think people who haven't read it would think even less of it because the plot twist is far too twisted for what the rest of the movie is.
I thought Vinnie Jones was really good as the butcher, and I thought the gore (though pretty obviously made through CGI in most cases) was very imaginative. The main flaws are a lack of explanation to what's truly going on (Something the short story had) and an ending without real closure (Which the explanation of what's going on would have fixed)
So what did you guys think of it? Did you like it? Have you read the original story? Do you think it could have been made better?

First time I'm hearing about it. I watched the trailer just now and it looks interesting.

Yeah, the trailer looked great. Well, if you get around to watching it, let me know what you thought about it. I really hope you enjoy it more than I did.

Hi. Richard_Uther. I did not like this movie at all. It was very terrifying and depressing! When I saw this movie, in 2009, it grossed me out! This movie left me with bad thoughts. I feared this movie. And, it really gave me the creeps too. I did not read the original story. I think that the movie could have better towards all of the gooey blood and killings. I did not like the way that the plot of this movie turned out to be. I personally disliked the way that people were killed and how no one never could find out how to stop the monsters. The guy with the camera should have just left well alone. Now he has his fiancee caught up into this maze. And that is how she got killed herself.
