Bloody maybe but IMO not really disturbing

Well heard that this movie is f'd up and gory to the Max and will disturb you etc.

It had it's fair share of blood and gore but i didn't find it really disturbing, only way i could was to imagine that if i died by getting my head slammed off or being choked to death.

And it also had a twist in the end and people are all over arguing is it great or is bad. I say it is more in the bad zone.

The phase was overall pretty good, altough it dragged a little bit.

*SPOILER* *SPOILER* *SPOILER*

The twist was pretty cool, kind of helps the film from being just an average flick where people get dropped left and right. But that twist also could erase everything (or almost everything that happened) in the movie away, and if there were some illogical things that the writes put there that is a cheap getaway from it. But i went into this film to look for disturbing footage, bloody kills and a nice short evening film to go with my food and drinks. I only got half of it, meaning the bloody kills so i gave it a 5/10.

nicely done gore but I agree it aint a disturbing film - well maybe the head giving head scene...but I found that comical

For every person something else is "disturbing". Even the asme thing can disturb you the first time you see it but later it will not.
For me, the cornfield scene and the vise scene in Casino are one of the most disturbing ones and Casino is not even a horror movie. But I was perfectly okay with stuff like Saw.
Speaking of Saw, which, I guess, is pretty tame for horror enthusiasts: I got lucky seeing it in a Sneak Preview before the actual release and thus before anybody knew about it. Sneak Preview meant that the audience was mixed. Several viewers left the cinema before the movie was finished. And one woman *collapsed* next to me outside the cinema about 5 minutes after the movie was over. That's how different the impacts is.
So, if you don't flinch at all anymore it's just that your senses have been dumbed down.
