I have seen this film only once, when I was twelve years old and searching through the Scream channel on a regular basis. I only watched it because it was mentioned in the Texas chainsaw massacre documentary on the Ultimate edition. This was back when I was a gore hound, so this film disappointed on that level, but it succeeded in giving me an uneasy feeling and feeling frustrated at what was happening. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and was the beginning of my dislike to the trash I now refer to as rape/torture movies. I can't say anything about the characters, mainly I don't remember them very well. Well I did see the remake, and must say it's much more violent in the scenes of torture, mainly a guys head getting micro-waved. I hate these types of movies now-a-days and find them very Un-enjoyable. I don't recommend it.
