There are some gory moments but a general shying away from exploitation into more thriller territory, but of course it suffers from the usual lack of budget, indifferent performers and cliched writing for the characters and action. What starts out fairly atmospheric with some shockingly gory moments just ends up descending into something approaching tedium, so much so that they resort to shooting fantasy dream scenes to add in more violence.
