I swear I could tell everything about this movie just by looking at the poster up top. I rent a lot of movies, and in recent years I've noticed that the horror section of my local video store is chock full of DVDs with grimy white covers depicting some sort of horribly gory effect that looks way better than anything actually seen in the movie.

Why grimy white covers? Because Hostel and the Saw movies have them and those were successful. Why so much gore on the cover? Because you can't put that sort of thing on an theatrical movie poster and these all went direct to DVD, but at least it's eye-catching.

You may as well have a neon sign that says "derivative crap" on the box.
