The writer and director.
I cannot make up my mind which was worse, the writing or the directing. The torture/mutilation scenes were over the top and needlessly macabre, leaving nothing to the imagination. Remember Silence of the Lambs (1991)? That movie had macabre aspects but it was tastefully done (no pun intended). This movie was tactless and tasteless. What in the world did they think they were doing when they made this movie?! They wasted Lindsey Lohan's talents; I think she tried her best to due justice to the role. Even Julia Ormond's presence could not save this horrid movie. The director did not know what to do with the fine actors that he had in the movie. Of the five movies he has down so far, this is the absolute worst movie that Silvertson has ever directed. It totally tanked at the box office, it did not break even with a $12M budget and a $7.2M gross.
If you are looking for something to watch and you are bored to distraction -- watch something else. And whatever you do, do not waste your money renting this movie.
Viewers beware!
