Starting off incredibly creepy, filled with some intensely scary chills it soon falls into nothing but overly gory violence with no substance whatsoever.
Troubled French actress Béatrice Dalle turns in a very unlikable but effectively menacing performance as the crazy lady with a pair of scissors.
Be prepared to squirm while grasping onto your barf bag during the shocking finale. It's so unnecessarily gruesome, I have to give it credit for it's gore effects.
In the end, the performances are good, the gore effects are good, the setting is good...the writing is not and that hurts this film the most.

I really liked this one as a horror fan. While most people wouldn't want to see such content, I want a movie to make me squirm, either literally or figuratively. It's a strange flick that isn't as straight-forward as it seems.
3.5 out of 5 from me
I watched it a 2nd time for whatever reason late last year.
My view on it changed a bit after the complete shock and repulsion wore off from the first viewing.
I might bump it up a full or 1/2 star, simply for the wonderful performances and fantastic use of minimal setting.
