    Rented this out from xtra vision.....French film with Eng subs, read good things about it a few months back, thought it was a standard teen slasher flick (as the basic reviews seem to suggest) but it was something much more bizzare and graphically violent.....

    Rent it. One of the few recent movies to have the not often used "strictly 18's only" Xtra Vison yellow sticker....trust me, its worth a watch.

    I really enjoyed this movie. The 'twist' was a little bit groansome, but it made up for it with buckets and buckets of blood. I've been meaning to get the DVD because of the interview with the make-up artist - I want to know exactly what percentage of the film's budget went on fake blood.

    Exactly, very obvious ending, but very enjoyable. Some great scenes (like the mother in front of the wardrobe, with the throat, ergh!).

    I wrote my opinion in the horror forum. The twist is ridiculous but if you are a gore fan you will love it. The Buzzsaw should be the new chainsaw of horror films.

    Yeah, at first I thought the throat scene looked a little fake, when it was initially slit, but when it goes to maries horrified eyes and then back to her POV, and the throat is opening up and spewing blood...gross. I dont want to give any spoilers, but the first kill was damn inventive! Never seen something that sick and bizarre in a movie before.

    I love gory films, especially the 80´s italian ones, but this was just so gross because it was so brutally realistic. Love this film though. A cult classic. Deserves recognition, I wonder what kind of a budget they had? I wouldn´t say it was very high, but it shows that budget isnt everything! Hollywood churns out alot of pathetic slasher films that cost $$$ and have nothing on this gem!

    Retrogamer - you are definately right about the buzzsaw. Even the idea of that weapon was sick, puts the traditional steak knife and even a chainsaw to shame! Reminded me of the lawnmower from "Braindead" :D
