Legendarily lame. We watched wit the commentary up.... just to get through it.
The star if the show openly calls it L-a-m-e-s-h-i-t on the DVD commentary... the guy who wrote it says that it was his 3rd ever script. The Borad is creepy but is so out of step with the rest of the show.
Not the worst movie ever and not the worst DW ever  But getting there....

Very well made. Nil dialogue yet fascinating. The remarkable interview with the director on the DVD is world class bullshitting.

A remarkable movie. Black comedy with traces of soap and horror. Not sure about its message. It's not "class war justice". It's more vague than that.

This movie has faded a little since last time we saw it but the BluRay is worth a replay.
