I've never understood the perverse fixation on human suffering. Back in the day I went to see Halloween II because my date wanted to, I've never watched garbage like that since.

Roth has stated that this film is a commentary on the direction the porn business is ultimately headed. Maybe it's a commentary on the direction he's ultimately headed.

I've never understood the perverse fixation on human suffering. Especially when American special interest groups go berserk over non-violent "art-house" erotic films, then seem to look the other way when movie after movie like this gets an "R" rating. I don't think it's too hard to figure out which type of film has done more damage to American culture over the last thirty years.

The original Halloween was completely different though and virtually bloodless.
