I'm really not a fan of gross-out horror at all, and I was apprehensive about seeing the film. But I went into it with an open mind and, honestly, it was pretty fun. Yes, the idea is horrifying and there are certainly unpleasant moments, but overall it's so over the top and self aware that it's more a black comedy than anything else. Not saying it's a cinematic masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but don't write it off based on expectations either. The performance of Dieter Laser who plays the villain is really something entertaining to see  !
