Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A remorseless catalogue of calculated violence, casual cannibalism and sexual sadism, this inflicts over two hours of suffering on the audience...

This is the stuff of nightmares, where even the good guy is bad, and as shock cinema goes, it packs a punch.

We lucky westerners get to see it in all its hair-raising, stomach-churning glory, and that's a wonderful thing.

A terrific but uncompromising film that's definitely not for everyone. It's not just that the violence is graphic, but that much of it is so mean-spirited.

rotten:
After a while, the sheer length and repetitiousness of the film begins to feel pornographic in the dullest sense.
