This movie is much deeper than it may appear on the surface. I know not everyone is interested in delving into a film if it doesn’t appeal to them, and I understand that. I also understand that, for an audience expecting an engaging, supernatural, or entertaining horror movie, this might come across as particularly bizarre and eccentric. Moreover, it's a horror comedy, and horror comedies are often not well-received. In this case, it's a horror comedy that takes a distinctly grotesque and disturbing turn. I put myself in the shoes of someone watching this movie for the first time without any prior knowledge. The second half disorients you. You laugh, yes, but it's one of those nervous laughs, and you think, 'What the hell am I watching?' And the ending. That damn ending. It's a good ending, doesn’t it? The protagonist survives, so everyone should be satisfied, right? But who wouldn’t feel terrible for the protagonist?This horror comedy is much, much more than it might seem at first glance. The protagonist comes across as a jerk, selfish, unlikable, ambitious, indifferent—call him what you will. You expect him to suffer. But damn, what he goes through isn’t the usual punishment like a 'Saw'-style slasher gore. It’s something much worse. But there’s something good in it. His 'dehumanization,' in some way, restores his dignity. He’s more human now than he was at the start of the movie. It works better than any of Saw's traps.The only downside: I’ve heard that Kevin Smith intends to make a sequel, where the protagonist (rehumanized) might become the 'villain' in turn. Great, but that would kind of ruin his redemption. Let’s wait and see..."

I watched this move now, over 10 years after it was released, and I was very excited about it after reading the main premise of the movie and seeing a few cuts form the internet. It turned out to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. While the main premise of the movie is awesome - a serial killer living in the middle of nowhere that obsesses over turning people into a walrus - the movie falls short of being a new "human centipede" due to the poor execution. Cheap pitiful "humor" to try to mask the terrible acting, pathetic soundtrack that annoys more than aclimate the viewer, and ok but unimpressive photography that does not compensate the boring and sometimes stupid dialogs in the movie. The cherry on the cake was the ending, that in the last 10min of the movie seemed to be converging into a good ending, but ended up in the most unrealistic and absurd sequence of the whole movie. Do yourself a favor and invest this couple of hours of your life in something better.
