fairlesssam A group of friends on holiday in Lithuania end up in trouble, as two of their party venture to a backstreet tattoo parlour, with a stranger, after a night of partying. This film is a missed opportunity. The lead actor is superb and the cinematography is also very good. The acting of the rest of the cast however is pretty awful. The constant screaming and babbling of the girls is beyond grating. The story is not developed particularly well, and as the tattooist starts to torture his victims all we have is screaming, begging, moaning and sobbing of the irritating fashion known to man. Other than the tattooist himself the characters are not likable, their relationships and personalities are not developed. They are all just completely annoying.

Seth_Rogue_One A very simple 'lure tourists into a dodgy place in order to do despicable things to them' type of horror.Overall the acting is poor but Robert LaSado is the saving grace here (you might not recognise his name but you've most likely recognise his face).I mean he can't make you care for the other characters fate of course (being that most of them are such poor actors and very duchy you kind of feel like they deserve to die... in the movie that is) and it doesn't ever really get scary for the same reason (and plot and directing etc of course as well) but Robert LaSado is an effective bad guy and with any lesser actor this could have flunked completely.But the Gothic atmosphere is pretty cool as well, and plenty of eye-candy (the women most likely got their roles for their willingness to appear nude more than their acting-abilities... but then they are no worse than the other guys).So yeah definitely nothing you need to see but nothing you have to absolutely avoid either, if it's on TV one late night or so.

laymonite-2 This is no Hostel for a start! If you are after gore, you really won't get any and you REALLY won't care about the characters.There isn't really a plot, other than a pale attempt at making a copy of Hostel without the extremism.We have an odd mix of American and British 'no-ones' visiting Lithuania -we know *nothing* about these people throughout the film. People just constantly shout, become violent and have sex for no reason - there is no reason or realism and the plot is no clearer.This reminded me of a HG Lewis film - with a couple of unemotional gore effects that look like they are from Blood Feast/The 60's.The only good thing I can say is the main tattoo bloke with the beard had some presence.

AlexanderExtazy The story was quite perceptive and non surprising. A typical thriller/horror where American youngsters go off to a third world country and become victims due to that country's inhabitants having a hardcore grunge on the US for obvious reasons..The starting scene was interesting, and some nice party scenes. The way the horror approached the story wasn't quite put that well.. it would have been better if the thrill came at a surprise instead of being obvious infront of the eye.Despite some fake lips and fake tits, a very few pleasant females to admire in this movie.Whether or not the story events are true (about painting on human skin canvas), the story itself was interesting and almost unique (ALMOST!).Interesting ending as well!
