The movie was somewhat slow and I agree with some other posters, that none of the characters were likable.... Though actually I liked Viktor more than the other main characters in this strange triangle.But thats not saying much.Its like saying one likes 8 inches of snow as opposed to a foot of snow. You get my point. The movie did avoid cliché material , which was a good thing. Probably could have used some more gore but it was gory enough. The sound effects when Viktor was doing something to his fingers was spectacular. I wont say anymore about that. The acting, overall was fair. I will point out I liked Kristy Swanson in that part , because it gave one a feeling of realism. She was a bit on the chunky side and it is refreshing to see that in an American movie. I know the Brits are good at having regular folk type people , in the looks department being in their movies. I say give the movie a shot and maybe do some house work with an eye and ear on the movie for the first half hour and buckle in for the last hour.
