The film definately picks up in the violent and aggressive second half, though even the explicit head-gougings become slightly predictable unimpressive towards the end.
Clearly, the director is game for all sorts of extremities - however the merely suggested rape and breastmilk-suckling were a little disappointing considering the hardcore carnage that surrounds these scenes. Even in the uncut version, these are skirted around nervously suggesting studio interferance or perhaps general American aversion to such outrage.
On the whole, a very impressive remake - and the future bodes well for director Aja.
