Sorry about the personal attack, I guess I just snap whenever I read the word "misogyny." It's one of those words that tells me what you've been reading. Also, it infuriates me when people look at a pulp genre through pc glasses. The movie is about murder. If the victims were men no one would care, eg Hostel.

Director Takashi Shimizu seems to have little interest in his job, delivering an incoherent story, few of the shocks and thrills the genre demands, and very little in the way of new ideas in this inoffensively dull little movie. It ain’t “The Descent,” people. [...] [...] The American remake of the second “Grudge” film fails as a story and as a horror flick.

After I put down my "film school textbook" (didn't actually attend film school), where can I go to get the "formal training" to understand, what, horror movies? Is there a school for films like that? Hope it doesn't have a textbook ... Sorry you're so upset that I panned that movie. I thought it sucked, I said why. Your mileage may vary, brother. Or sister. I'm glad you're still checkin' out reviews here, though, and I'd hope that this strongly positive review of "The Descent" mends the fence a little. So I really didn't like HT, and you really didn't like my review of it. No reason we can't be friends (in that utterly disconnected Internet 8,000-"friends"-on-my-MySpace-page kinda way, of course). Unless you thought "Cars" was high art. Then we might have a problem. No, wait, maybe Swede has a point.

He just gave a gory horror film where women -- and exclusively women -- get brutally murdered a four-star rating. He just didn\'t like \"High Tension.\" Lots of critics didn\'t care for it.

The namecalling was his idea, anyway. Check the High Tension thread for details. “I didn’t like it” and “it’s a piece of crap” aren’t the same thing. The namecalling was his idea, anyway.

Lots of people didn't like this movie. You're making a lot of assumptions about his motivations just because he didn't like a movie. How about a little "live and let live?" Swede,
