Plot? Characterization? ''None'' whatsoever. Don't expect anything great from it.

Scored rotten at 56 percent at RottenTomatoes but overall very, very disgusting for all viewers who came out of the theatre traumatized by needless vandalism/destruction, casual murder, abuse (baby dolls, [[{{Foreshadowing}} but]]...), and [[spoiler:kidnapping]].
