It was one of the first movies in a long time that had me squirming in my seat as if to try to protect myself for what im seeing. Once again it was an amazing movie but id like to hear anyone elses thoughts on it.

My only real problem with the movie is that the girls were not martyrs. They were victims. So the whole premise of the movie is completely invalid. It's an interesting concept, but inherently flawed. But which would make people want to watch the movie more? Young attractive women getting brutally killed or death-fearing senior citizens choosing to be brutally murdered? To me the movie felt like it was trying to elevate itself past something like Hostel or Saw by having a "deeper meaning," but failed because said "deeper meaning" is just kludged onto a pretty typical torture porn script without any thought of the lack of logic behind it. Pretty good movie, but the script could have used quite a bit of work in my opinion.
