Pretty good movie, so I'm gonna recommend this one if you can find it. It's not up on our site currently, but I got a 3 for 25euro deal on this, Battle Royale II, and Casshern at one of our local DVD shops.

This really isn't a horror film, but it is a thriller and is probably closer to the horror genre than a few other films here. My wife and I had an enjoyable night with this while the baby slept away... a rarity indeed!

There are a lot of borrowed ideas in this film I suppose, but for the most part it doesn't go over the top with them. I got a few good laughs out of it as well, since some scenes (Angelica Lee in high-heels wielding a fire-ax, Angelica Lee's god-awful driving skills) were probably unintentionally comical.

Cool. I haven't seen it yet but it was a movie that I've been wanting to see.
