“I spent a considerable amount of time trying to get ahold of this, so I was delighted to finally see the original movie (with eng subs) once I had procured it here in the states!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOlaf Ittenbach makes really cool and crazy over-the-top-not-necessary- but-now-that-you-mention-it-thatu0026#39;s-kind-of-awesome type horror movies. He executes special effects with unquestionable brilliance – I dare any of you to create a CGI that has a comparable effect. – And the movies he directs often dispatch a rather generic plot that allows for such gore and action sequences to be thread together. Personally, I really enjoy his style and totally grasp where heu0026#39;s going with it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie in particular shines for multiple reasons. The special effects and Gore in this film are abundant. In addition to that, it actually has a pretty good plot and interesting main character as well (who also happens to be completely nude for almost the entire film.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt explores things like Drug Addiction, Mood u0026amp; Mental Disorders, Heaven u0026amp; Hell, Sensory Perception u0026amp; Colors, while piecing together the heroineu0026#39;s memory and contrasting that with what ends up being the reality. It is somewhat self-important but it works for this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe musical score is EFFECTIVE, creepy, and surprisingly poignant considering the genre of film. While this movie did not reinvent the wheel, It certainly captures the elements necessary to make something resonate as creepy/scary/disturbing. This movie would STILL be very creepy without all the over-the-top violence and blood/gutspilling – However; The fact that it is there makes it even that much more delightful. Buy/Rent It ;)”
