Maybe the shock value it held back in the late 70's has faded to today's world. I just didn't see what the big deal was. It was a very formulatic movie, nothing really too shocking or surprising. A movie I've heard this compared to is the original Tobe Hooper version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". That movie was light years better than this movie. I think it is still trying to live off of 30 year old notoriety.

I posted about this last year. I know Raiders was one who had seen it. Its like a bad bad ploy at an artsy movie. It was basically a bad snuff film with aspirations of something more.
