When Gerald (Kurt De Meuter) lost his wife (Kristel Goddevriendt) and
son in a freak accident, it threw him off the track - until at a garage
sale he found a book on black magic, so black in fact that the book's
cover's crafted from a human face. Now Gerald is a successful
psychiatrist, and Louis (Brane Wolters) is his favourite patient -
favourite because Louis likes to cut himself, and cut himself deep until
he bleeds. Gerald prescribes Louis some drug or other, very well knowing
that the drug will only give him hallucinations that will make him cut
himself more. Why? Because Gerald has ulterior motives, and for this he
needs a patient - Louis, obviously - dismember himself ...
Now going into this movie, one ought to know it makes good on
the promise of its title which is actually its main reason of being - it's
about dismemberment, as bloody and graphic as can be done, so do expect
some blood and guts. In other words, it's not a movie for everyone - but
then again, it's more than just wall-to-wall gore as its gory climax is
embedded in a story that's actually fun. Sure, it's made up from horror
mainstays, but put together in an entertaining way. And the finale is as
gruesome as it needs to be, with the camera shying away from literally
nothing, but it's so over-the-top it's also amusing in a darkly humourous
way (that probably only horror fans will get). So no, indeed not a film
for everyone, but if you prefer your blood by the liter, you're bound to
like this one!
