The Power Of Flesh...
30 December 1999
Would you eat human flesh if it was a matter of life or death? Well, everyone in this story surely did. This film is about a military outpost in the late 1800's which is visited by a man close to death who claims that he has escaped from cannibals who turned on him. Well after that…I cant reveal anything although some revelations are pretty obvious, but I don't want to mess up the film. This film deals with subjects like temptation, guilt, extreme situations, and bounds to be broken. It deals with the feelings of the human mind and soul when confronted with difficult situations such as death. In this film we see flesh as something that revives a human and gives him power. Something like blood for vampires. The only thing that is needed for one to enjoy flesh, is to kill the feeling of guilt. The true villain of this film is the human mind. I really enjoyed this film because it gave me something to think about. It is well directed, beautifully acted and has some very shocking scenes. We also get some insight on Indian spirituality which sometimes give it a supernatural/spiritual twist. All in all, an excellent film and a definite must see.

Typical but not bad...
28 December 1999
This is a very typical and predictable film.I could guess out,practically each and every scene of it.BUT:I had a good a time with it.The murders are original,gruesome and they are supported by way above the average special effects.This film is to be seen with other horror buffs in order to have a good time.

So so
27 March 1999
I saw this film by mistake on Tv. It wasn't really bad, but the acting and the plot was. The only plus was that it had these kind of original and gruesome murders. If you rent it you'll use the ff button a lot.
