TLHOTL is absolutely a revolting film...I can think of no reason to watch it more than twice. Yet that's why I think it succeeds. Look at the subject matter-rape, power,class struggle/structure, and the parents pushed too far until they finally break. It was meant to be gritty, disgusting and exploititive, and it achieves these goals with flying colors. For that alone, I give it high marks, whereas eye candy like 13 Ghosts(which I didn't think were mind blowing anyway) just makes me bored to tears.
