for horror films there is a range of genres huge, and every genre and subgenre have their market and fans. There are people who admire from commercial production and digestible, even the most bizarre and cumbersome or confusing, my case is one of those, of course, if the hand fence with a minimum quality expected by product.
One of these subgenres is the so-called "torture porn, a few years ago reached its highest eminence (in public) to the success of films like saw and hostel. Many are loyal fans, others hate it, my view is that, contrary to what seems, porn-torture is a difficult genre because you must mix everything you normally need a good horror movie add some (or many) you long morbid touches of blood and guts, quite graphic without spoiling the desired result with the presumed exhibitionism.
Grotesque If I had to pigeonhole into a genre, no doubt would be the above mentioned, but never as a good example of how to make a movie of its features, especially his argument flojísimo virtually nonexistent.
much importance is given to try to hit with gore, obscene and disgusting that they forget about more important aspects, such as having a minimum ID or interest in the victims or the perpetrator or a good argument. I can not
deny that one gets to shake, twist and discomfort with certain scenes but if we think a little, a movie can not keep his weight on one aspect would be like a table with one leg, that happens to Grotesque, the gore and other technical aspects are very convincing, but he neglects everything else, (read suspense, tension, surprise, I argue, innovation etc ...) The interventions
I can not complain, they are very credible at all times, the soundtrack also full of classical music is impeccable, the photography is nothing without the other world is well achieved, and the gore is mostly good quality ... and ... that's all this is the problem of Grotesque, in just a few lines I could describe how good it has to offer the tape, the rest is pure repetition.
worst thing is that this movie with a little more depth to their characters, plot and psychology, could have been much more memorable, and at times we see small glimpses, but never come to realize something really convincing, being in situations merely anecdotal.
Grotesque In conclusion is a film that camouflages its total lack of content and style with visors and gore sick, it is undeniable that it has several scenes quite disturbing, but it seems immoral that a film remains in place only signs of violence.
best:
"The gore and some other technical aspect.
"I can do ... and entertaining experience
Worst:
" That there is nothing under that package.
"Absolutely mindless.
for me: 5.0/10
