I'm a big fan of Darren Lynn Bousman, absolutely. But he doesn't have a 100% track record, and Abattoir is not a favoured offering of his for me.

There are so many great ideas scattered throughout Abattoir, but unfortunately it lacks a Jebediah Crane to bring them together into a single solid foundation.

Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.

SO. MUCH. POTENTIAL. Such crappy execution.
