This film has the usual gore of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Saw and the Hostel movies.
However, there was one scene which was very hard to stomach, and I'm usually good at not being repelled by gore. This was when she discovered her ex-boyfriend? with his torso completely ripped away, and he was actually still alive, so that you could see his open heart beating. I almost had to look away from that one. Since it seemed he was somehow attached by a hook or something to the back of a truck she was trying to escape in, it's unclear whether she was the one that pulled his skin away when she started the truck or whether he was already that way.
I gave this movie a thumbs down on Netflix, not because of the gore, but because the movie didn't make a whole lot of sense, especially the older gentleman (although he was hardly a gentleman), and the ending. The gentleman asked if she knew that her family's lives would be in danger if she shot him, but the movie never explained why that was. And the ending was confusing. At first, I thought she shot the woman because she was traumatized and not thinking clearly and was impatient with her not driving off immediately, but then wondered if the woman's hesitancy to drive off was due to the fact that she was yet another member of this deranged family, and Ana just realized it. OR did the brother that she spared do it, and even killed her at the same time? It wasn't the old man (who had previously told her that she was dead & buried already, whatever that meant), because he was going into the house at that exact moment. At least that's what it seemed like. Then the movie just ended, with unanswered questions.
I've tried to find some of the answers on reviews online, but I'm still confused. A lot of horror anthologies do this, don't make sense and leave unanswered questions, like Mexico Barbaro and Holidays. But this was a full length one. Although I admit I haven't seen every horror movie ever made, by any means. It did hold my interest though, and I kept thinking they would answer the questions, but the ending was unsatisfactory. And the ending can, often times, make or break a movie.
