Violence & Gore
severeFew, but very explicit scenes of gory violence. A womans naked corpse is shown on a table. A large chunk of flesh has been carved out of her thigh. A man is seen cooking this piece of meat and eating. The womans head, arms and legs are cut off with a chainsaw (in ultra gory detail) and she is further dismembered offscreen. Her remains are then minced in a meat grinder and fed to some pigs. A woman is brutally bludgeoned with a pipe (or some kind of club?). She is struck in the head, blood flows down her face. She runs from her attacker, but is caught and thrown to the ground. Her face is bashed with the pipe, ripping her cheeks apart and splitting her forehead open with a massive, spurting hemorrhage. A third strike knocks out one of her eyeballs. Her head is then put in a microwave, and in a prolonged scene, it is shown melting and falling apart. The womans body is then placed in a trunk after her feet are hacked off with some kind of bladed instrument. A homeless man is chased by a car and run down. The car runs over and crushes his chest as he spits out a mouthful of blood. The car runs back and forth over the man repeatedly, crushing his chest into a gory pulp of blood and guts. A woman is strangled with a whip. A man is shot in the chest, bloody wounds appear.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
moderateThe murders and violence in the film could disturb some viewers, though the effects are not entirely convincing and the tone of these scenes is often oddly comic. reasonably light in tone, with cheesy lounge music, a lot of black comedy, not a scary film, just very violent.
