far a sim concerned it was just phonebooth with gore, overall rather predictable

I kinda know what you are saying, but I sure didn't that end coming. Did you? And I pride myself on catching twists. I'd still recommend it, even though it wasn't a grand slam homer.

There were some overall directorial/editing/casting/score choices that I would've done differently, but I also understand that a lot of it was dictated by their shooting schedule (28 days or something like that) and budgetary restraints ($1,000,000).

Still enjoyed it. B- movie to me.

SPOILER ALERT

I did not predict that the corps ein the room wud happen to be the guy but i did expect someone else to be pulling the strings, alot of these type of movies have the bad guy get away

the main thing thta pissed me off to no end was the fact that the cell phone wa slike 8 inches out of his reach and instead of using his shirt or the saw to reach it, he uses the shirt as a tourniquet and cuts off his foot with the saw so he can go get it, how stupid can one be?

edit, another thing i didnt really like was that the 3 previous victims, the lady with the jaw machine, the guy with fire paste, and the man in the razor wire, they were all told exactly wut to do, but these 2 guys were put in a big puzzle

SPOILER ALERT

***SPOILER ALERT***

Highlight to read.

My $.02

That's what I meant. The very end, with the main guy being the "dead" guy. Never saw the big twist coming. Everything else yes. And his motivation was acceptable too. Of course someone was pulling all the strings. That's a given. :)

I could accept the fact that these 2 guys got a more elaborate puzzle because since the main baddie was the guy in the hospital, the doctor was more directly involved with the guy's life in not being able to save him and/or not seemingly "caring". The photographer, orderly, etc. were just unfortunate to be associated with him. It's like the other people with puzzles were a warm-up to this larger puzzle for the doctor. The were all people who the main bad guy would've seen in the hospital too. Reverse bear trap - drug addict / Razor wire - attempted suicide / Candle - Poison? Aids? I don't remember this one as well as the others) And remember the penlight left behind at one crime scene? It was just the beginning of starting to get the docotr into trouble and to rethink/evaluate/appreciate his life.

But I do concede that at the end, they should have show some way that the phone was totally out of reach to the doctor by ANY means. My brother said the very same thing after the movie. However, I can accept that he was just totally distraught and not thinking clearly though.

But it was funny how in the beginning when the photographer was trying to initially reach the tape recorder, he couldn't. My brother kept whispering under his breath, use your shirt, use your shirt, and 2 seconds later he did. They played "semi-fair" in my opinion, with people reacting "semi-logically".

The thing that bothered me more was the 2 cops going after the killer ALONE, the MTV editing, the rock music, and some other stuff. But again, stuff I can forgive in the long run knowing their limitations and restrictions. I'm excited to see what these guys come up with next.
