Kevin Smith is a philistine

This is a horrible film… Not in a good way… not in a redeeming, it’s so bad it’s good way… No, it’s just awful…
Everything is bad, the acting, directing, writing, photography, the lot of it is bad…
But that’s not the worst part… the worst part is finding out that the director had no intention of making a good movie… the whole thing is just some podcast idea, that the director decided to inflict on the public. The epitome of echo chamber moron culture...
There is no pretending or excusing anymore... Kevin Smith is a philistine and hates cinema

He seems quite insufferable.

Agreed, the movie was terrible. I actually had high hopes for it going in. It was pretty sad.
The Human Centipede (2009) is in almost every way a superior movie to this. Both have exactly the same premise...

On Imdb, I used to use my 1 star ratings very, very sparingly. I think this was the only film I gave a 1 to.

It's not the worst thing I've ever watched. It's not even close to that. This was fine, a perfectly serviceable 5/10. I like that it was something different, and I was genuinely freaked out by a lot of it, which is a very rare reaction to get from me. If it weren't for people like Kevin Smith who are willing to do stupid shit, all we would get is an endless succession of Paranormal Activities and Saws. No thanks!

Eh, I didn't think it was that bad. I thought it was watchable, I kind of liked it. It did remind me a lot of Human Centipede.
It was horrifying, ridiculous, and kind of funny all at the same time. It is funny to think that he pretty much mapped out the whole movie in an off the cuff podcast conversation though.
Speaking of which, the podcast characters were pretty irritating and annoying. I guess that was part of the point though, that the Justin Long character sort of had it coming to him. His friend wasn't much better though.
Then again, I suppose it says something that Johnny Depp didn't want his name attached to it . Overall, I thought it hung together better than Yoga Hosers, which fell apart at the end. The Bratzis were just too stupid of a villain. Come to think of it, why do both movies have "Nazi" references in them? Brazis and the NotSee Party?
