GL84 Set in London, The Man intertwines four strangers' tales as they seek bloody revenge against others. While he's going around, a detective goes around trying to find an apparent connection to the killings that become associated with an incarcerated rapist.The Good Stor(ies): Story 1-Finding a slew of dead bodies, a detective recounts backward how the victims turned out. When several friends meet up at a Goth club, she takes a mysterious man home only to awake with a concerned state that she thinks is caused from their affair. Spending the night with her, she eventually learns she had been telling the truth all along. This one here is one of the best stories. The incredibly psychedelic imagery is pretty prevalent in here, especially the trippy and down-right freaky sex scene, as the strobe lights going off into the total darkness with the complete inability to notice what's going on. Coupled with the fine nudity and extremity with the actions and it really works. Even the later sequence where they're walking down the street having the usual demonic-faces-no-one-else-sees scene is a lot of fun, which here is hyper-extended for even more chills. The eruption sequence at the end is where it really works well, using a lot of impressive gore to make for some really bloody material. The creature is a little weakly-designed, but it's still pulled off well and is used inside an actually creepy scene, which is for the better.Story 3-Living together, a man and his girlfriend are forced to live with his amputated leg from an accident years back. After meeting with a mysterious doctor, he is able to get a new leg and is ready to begin life again. Going through the usual rehabilitation methods, he is finally able to take back control of where he was, and it soon starts to worry him when he begins having visions of it being taken from him while they're together. This one here plays up the tired cliché of most similar stories, where it might have a life on its own after being attached, but it happens so late that there's really only a few scenes where it occurs, and it's much less chilling when it happens a few times rather than all the time. The atmosphere that creates is really great and manages to make it more entertaining. There's a brutal car crash that has some nice gore to it, including a brutal ending to one of the passengers. The sex scene, for once, is played more erotically and sensual that usual, making it a welcome inclusion.The Bad Stor(ies): Story 2-Sneaking around London, a couple women decide to stop off at a friends' house before leaving. When they find that a stranger is instead sleeping in the house, in a brutal accident both end up killing them. Struck by the accident, they decide to cover it up before it gets out, but once their conscious turns on them, they both try to get out before succumbing to it. This one here is actually pretty decent, but it's mainly hurt by the fact that there's not much going on in it. Despite the nice scene of the girls taking a bath together, there's no other real scene in here that offers up anything interesting. The brutality assaults go on much longer than they should, the gore looks terrible and it really sticks out that there's nothing in here that was needed for it.Story 4-Working for a large company, an employee spends most of his time goofing around online, much to the detriment of his boss. As he decides to continue, he eventually finds a website that allows the visitor to actually kill a person through the internet. As he becomes devoted to the website, his personal life becomes trashed, and he soon discovers a price to pay for attending the site. This here is the greatest disappointment in the whole series, as it should've been great. The plot is great with the different stance on the voyeur offering a real psychological advantage. The gore is brutal, especially the over-the-top dismemberment scenes that play into the voyeur study, and a later massacre sequence where a whole slew of victims are hacked up quite messy and bloody. The segment, though, is just way too long and slow- going, taking way too long to get to the few interesting moments that are here. The CGI is also really terrible, and takes the viewer right out of the scene.Rated Unrated/NC-17: Extreme Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Graphic Language, animal violence, a sex scene and drug use.

loomis78-815-989034 Kemper (David McEwen) is a convicted killer sitting in an asylum. He has a satanic avenger known as The Man (Filth) on the outside carrying out revenge on those who put him there. This is the wraparound to this four part British anthology film. Mel (Booth) is a Goth girl who picks up The Man at a club. She has sex with him and gives birth to a creature the next morning fatally. The second story has Emma (Emma Rice) and Sophie (Rebecca Eden) breaking into a blind man's home in the dead of night after a large stash of cash they believe is hidden there. They kill the tenant (Al Stokes) and then Sophie back stabs Emma and kills her. She thinks she has gotten away with it until their ghosts return for revenge. The third story is of Nick (Louie Brownsell) who has the lower half of his leg missing. Wanting to be whole for his girlfriend Natalie (Daly) he kills an acquaintance and slices off his leg and has it graphed on to his. This backfires of course. Detective Neilson (Dehn) is investigating all the cases until he finds out Kemper has targeted his son Richard (Stuart Laing) for his last victim. Richard is sucked into a forbidden internet site called 'The Sick Room' where the voyeur can watch and pick how his victim is to be abused. Writer/Director Alex Chandon makes this shot on video sickie look like a bad TV show being broad casted on the net. Yes it's gory and disgusting and stars the lead singer of hardcore band Cradle of Filth but none of this is scary. The stories range from average (the first and second) to poor (the final two). Another problem the film has not including an annoying soundtrack, is that every character in this film is a f***ing A**hole. Thieves, murderers, drug addicts, Satanists, sadists are just some of the personality traits of these characters. Almost every line by all the characters starts with the word F***. There is no one to identify with or want to see come out on top. There are some cheesy digital effects of a car out of control that will make you laugh at how bad it looks. With no scares or suspense to speak of, the filmmakers make this gory bore last two hours on top of it.

lastliberal It may be that the best reason to see this film is the opportunity to get a really good look at Emily Booth, who has one of the best chests in the UK. I last visited her in the nunsploitation film Sacred Flesh, but some may remember her with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Grindhouse. Her ending in the film cannot be described in word. Let's just say it involved lots of blood and a weird creature.But, that is just the start as much more blood will be spatter through this movie, especially in the second vignette, where a robbery victim just refuses to cooperate and die.And, it is not just blood spatter. Cat lovers may wish to avoid this film.

dagon35 Well, I've seen this movie a couple of time... I don't think it's as trash as the title may suggest. It's just Dany Filth play-in' bad with some pals. The best scene remains the one with the cop's kid getting abused in a sadistic show room... Otherwise, the story (stories' better, indeed) are at least originals. But I do prefer the Hellraisers. Pinhead is a better sadistic "madman". I think Dany Filth will improve if he goes on playing.He's an excellent actor, even if I don't like much of his music, perhaps too commercial (I like old school black metal, this can explain my point of view).The second point is the fact that most of the fellows playing here have played at least once in Cradle of Filth's videos...
