I can't possibly understand the appeal of garbage. While I can enjoy a sub-par film from time to time, I am amazed at the utter lack of anything entertaining in this film. Horrible writing from start to finish, terrible acting with maybe 1 or 2 glimmers of hope. But the directing was even worse. I felt nauseous within 10 minutes. Remember the movie called How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days? This film could be called How To Lose An Audience In 10 Minutes. The first segment "Painkiller" is an obvious rip-off of Freddy Krueger. The make-up isn't half bad, but it's not enough to save this piece of flotsam. "The Cologne" was somewhat better, with at least a passable performance by the lead actor. Then we come to "Blood Runs Cold". An unbelievably bad piece of writing, with atrocious performances. It was all I could do not to laugh. Trust me, don't waste your time. Rent The Departed, you'll enjoy that much more!!
