Hmm, there's a lot of mixed opinions on IMDb. Some people absolutely HATE it. I dunno if I'll bother to catch it myself.

What? Everyone on IMDb loves it o__O. There's like maybe 2 threads where they state that they're "disappointed." And plus, its been getting great reviews so IMDb users can go slash their throats.

I just saw it! Fantastic film! Go see it!

I know the ending for many was dull, but it explained a lot and showed us how the family felt.

By the way, the violence depicted in this movie pwned.

I enjoyed it immensely, it's a film that treats you as an adult, and if you're not mature enough to respect that you probably won;t like the film. I saw it with an audience of high schoolers who were giggling at certain parts... I wanted to rip their heads off. The violence is brutal and quick, Cronenberg doesn;t pull any punches, it looks and feels like true violence should. People die in horrible, painful ways. Also, the sex, it's realistic, it's not this glorified crap we're spoonfed in movies, it plays out more like real sex. The second sex scene was incredible and very unexpected. But it's one single shot after that sex scene that I found incredibly powerful.

Spoiler

When the wife is sitting on the bed in the moonlight and you can see the bruises on her back.

Anyway, if you want to see an incredible film, with one of the most simple but effective endings ever, go watch this film, but don;t be a dumbass about it.

I really want to see this. I only saw the trailer for the first time this morning. I didn't know it was based on a DC Vertigo comic either.
