I won't waste your time rehashing what nearly every reviewer before me has stated. Yes, the first 45-50 minutes take forever. The blood and gore are pretty good but standard. The problem I had is that the movie is supposedly "based on true events". Oh really? since you are led to believe that none of the killers other victims escaped and the only escapee in this movie does not escape their bondage until the last 10 minutes of the movie(to basically desert the other friends who they don't know are dead or alive)THAT MEANS THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER VICTIMS. Meaning the gore parts of the movie are nothing but made up scenarios. It may have been interesting enough if we hadn't been lied to begin with. If you ignore the fact that it's supposedly "true" you might enjoy it. I doubt it.
