Man, this movie is really something. Where do I begin? Do I start with the two dumb girls in the beginning that deserved to die? Or that stupid pregnant woman who got stabbed in the back? There's just so much humor in this movie that I can barely fit it all into one review. I mean, the violence here is so freaking funny! I love to see a pregnant woman and her fetus die just like anybody else, but the way she and the baby are killed is just so hilarious! Every death in this movie will have you busting a gut. Literally! When you realize that babies are completely useless and that pregnant women are only good for killing and getting kicked in the stomach, you'll see how funny this movie is! I believe this is a great family film to watch with the kids. They can learn how to properly murder pregnant girls and rip out their fetuses and kill them. That would be great if every kid was taught how to do that. Oh, and the screams from all the other women are pretty funny too. It's pretty funny to see the look of terror on their face as they watch the killings happen. I only wish there was more rape so I could laugh at that too. So, in conclusion, this is a great film to watch if you absolutely hate babies, like I do. If you wish they would all die, you have to watch this film. You won't be disappointed!

Jack Ketchum is a famed horror novelist, but as far as turning his stories into film is concerned, so far, it hasn't been very successful. The only film based on his writing that I enjoyed, was The Offspring. The most recent one I watched, The Lost, was by far his worst. The story is about two detectives following a guy they know is a budding serial killer, a man who they suspect in a previous crime. With no evidence against him all they can do is watch him. First off this film is very slow moving, to point where I almost turned it off. Second, the main character, Ray (Marc Senter), is a complete and utter moron. I don't know if the character was written that way or if the actor playing him was just that bad, but this guy was not believable at all! The story is rather hard to follow as well, mainly because throughout it, people just keep making statements about what they've seen or what they know, without providing those same details to the audience. Isn't the point of a good mystery to make the audience think and figure things out for themselves instead of just having someone tell them everything? This movie was slow, poorly acted, and on top of that just plain stupid! Don't waste your time on it.

Just watched this pile of sh*t and all i can say is don't bother. The lead actor cant act. He must have payed someone to be in this. The other reviewers that have hyped this up must have been on the payroll to. I have just wasted 2 hours of my life watching this. All i can say is Im glad i didn't pay to watch it. The book may have been good i don't know i haven't read it, as someone else wrote 'maybe it should have remained a book' and not been made into a film. Maybe if they had cast the lead actor with someone who could act and done away with his greasy hair and eyeliner and cut it to around 70 minutes it might not have been so bad. I don't usually comment on here but i feel i had to in this case to stop anyone else wasting their time. Believe me it is a crap fest and thats being kind.

I have to say I went into watching this movie blind. I went to my local best buy and they had this on blu ray for 6.99 so i picked it up because the synopsis intrigued me. I honestly never heard or read the novel by Jack Ketchum and if I had the choice i would have read it first. This movie just grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. something about this film and its realism that shocked me. the weird thing about it is i can sit through tons of horror and thriller movies and never wince or feel real terror like i did watching this film. the acting was amazing, as much as i hated the main character ray pye, he just had this affect on me to continue watching. there were several times i wanted to shut it off because i couldn't take anymore but i stuck through to the end. the only thing that disappointed me was the abrupt ending but im sure if i read the novel first i wouldn't have been. still an incredible emotional impacting film.
