Would’ve been a 10 if Goldblum had rubbed his little hands together like a fly.
I'm 11 years old, I was told to watch this.I normally don't write reviews, but I have written because I am so traumatised by this movie.Everything about this movie is disgusting, the jaw being pulled off, the finger nails having goo out of them, and the vomit.I say you should be at least 21 to watch this, you will be traumatised otherwise. If you are under 21, and you still live with your parents, just ask for a permission slip. There is a naked woman, and a naked man, they are doing the sitting method. I cried.DO NOT WATCH THIS.
