Horrifying glimpse into today's war
An important book for our age given the horrific situation currently in Syria. Samer's experiences are harrowing, and dehumanising, to the point it reflects how much we take the issue for granted and how much we have turned off watching the terror unfold. It's gruesome, and terrifying, but that's expected given the topic. Hats off to the author for providing this piece to the world.

Santa Slasher
Hard to see what all the fuss was about by today's standards but suppose it was a bit shocking for '84. The film does look really dated now and is just unintentionally funny rather than scary or gruesome. A very poor film with cheap effects, bad acting and little plot. The good things are the typical 80's slasher feel to it, a few inventive kills. Hard to think it got 4 sequels!

Offensive and unnecessarily gruesome
As much as I love Indiana Jones, this film was very offensive. Not only did it portray Indians as savages eating monkey brains (although most of India is vegan or vegetarian), it also showed devotees of Kali, the goddess of war, as some kind of death cult - though she killed people like cultists. I really hated this film mostly because it was unnecessarily gory as well. Not a happy bunny.

Brilliant Political Thrillar
This book should be one of the greats, it is very addictive once you get into it. I read the trilogy in about a week. Lisbeth Salander is a character that you fall in love with and empathise a great deal with. Her trials through out the book are heart breaking and you feel free once she has over come them. Even when she get revenge, although it is pretty gruesome.

This movie is fairly gruesome as would be expected but I found quite a few scenes hard to stomach (and I'm no stranger to gore). The opening scene is a preview to the depravity and traumatic contents of the movie. The storyline itself was not awful but the graphic nature and a general lack of answers made it seem more like a gore for the sake of gore movie. Probably wouldnt watch again.

A western like no other as it blends the old west with horror in the most sublime way.
It's a brutal mash up of genres with great character development and dialogue and features Kurt Russell on particularly fine form.
Its pacing could be seen as a sticking point, however it deliberately and expertly builds tension and sets the scene for the gruesome stuff to come.
A very good horror that sticks in the mind.

Excellent all round
I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading reports that over 100 people walked out of the cinema at the movie’s premiere screening... The film is not for the squeamish but I felt the gruesome nature of the film was perfectly balanced by a gripping storyline, and excellent performances, especially from Matt Dillon. I was totally engaged all through the movie, and felt it was a perfect example of how a movie should be made.

Original, gruesome and fun!
Director Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots with this awesome flick about a female bank loan officer who has to show some backbone to get promoted and pisses off the wrong old lady.
Without saying too much, you will never predict where the film goes and the unusual circumstances the protagonist heroine finds herself in.
I was skeptical, but this movie rocks.
Please check it out.!
