I'd read about this movie a couple years ago. Apparently it's very controversial and has sparked a lot of dialogue so I decided to check it out.
The basic premise is pretty simple. I won't spoiler this because it's revealed in the film's trailer. A couple of teenage boys find a naked zombie girl chained to a gurney in an abandoned sanitarium.
What follows is a cross between "Gummo" and "Day of the Dead". It's a character study of troubled adolescence, misogyny and raging hormones coupled with violence, gore and rape.
This is not a date movie.
There are plenty of scares to be found in the crumbling 'nuthouse' and the soundtrack uses lots of low-frequency drones and startling crashes. I noticed a lot of cinematic techniques from Asian horror films.
A very disturbing movie, not for the squeamish.
