Wait... No gore?
I heard this has some blood, but no actual gore (just blood without any fx isn't gore). Is that true?
CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre.
Mostly, yes :(
shareThat sucks. It's the kind of movie that should have tons of great gore fx. Still gonna watch it though.

That's my biggest gripe with this movie. Was deeply disappointed by the lack of real gore. Maybe that's because it was the truncated R rated version. Who knows if the unrated cut has tons of actual gore shots in it?

I don't think that's the case. Every scene was shot terribly, especially the scenes involving action. So having it shot that way hid most of the violence right off the bat. Different angles as well as having the violence in immense closeup, so that particular makeup could have been applied to anything. No need for quality practical effects when your camera work is shyte.
The worst offender here: 'fight' scene between the 60 year old little girl and Pepper. Her knife cam out of nowhere, was he being stabbed? He spat out blood, he must have. Oh wait, he's up and about moments later, like nothing occurred.
Charly grabs her by the neck in a head lock, yet when she slits her throat the prosthetic is completely covered by a chain that was being worn the other way around to begin with. It's not about the budget, a lot of no-budget local stuff had much better talent all around.
This was shortcut after shortcut.
We've met before, haven't we? share
