Even the box is enough to give you an epileptic fit, let alone once things start moving on the screen in front of you.

This was at the theater for about five minutes here in the states, and critics eviscerated it. I'll give it a rent though.

I went to see this after a couple of pints. Scariest 2 hours I've experienced in a while. Didn't help the film was arse.

2 hours of bright flashing colours, a stupidly irritating child and a monkey flapping about all over the screen, and a plot as exciting as a conversation with your mum about carpets. All whilst drunk.
I came out the cinema almost in tears of fear and confusion.

Where is the Wachowski Brothers commentry, where one of the sibblings goes into his private life and tells us all about wanting to become a woman?
On a serious note. You'd think that they would chuck in some extras, considering the film bombed at the big screen.

The most interesting description of this that I heard was that it was like "having your eyeballs dipped in cotton candy and LSD."

Unfortunately, that's probably why it won't. Still, I'm betting that this filck will pick up a cult following on DVD.
