It spends a good portion of the movie introducing you to the main character, Billy, and gives you insight into why he later snaps and start killing people dressed as Santa Claus. It also includes a lot more nudity than you see in slasher movies nowadays (something I miss). But it&#8217;s not torture porn, like Saw and Hostel &#8212; there aren&#8217;t long, lingering scenes of people tortured and in pain. The violence is over the top and fun, not sadistic and disturbing. That being said, there are some genuinely creepy and scary parts, primarily in the early part of the film where we see Billy being traumatized by his early experiences.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0057GUE3K\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B0057GUE3K&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=rpglibrary\">Brick<\/a>, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is completely different. Brick is a film noir mystery set in and around a high school. That might sound camp, but Brick works because everyone in the movie takes it deadly seriously. It works because in high school, every ridiculous little thing is <strong>deadly serious<\/strong>. There&#8217;s very little violence, some mild language, and no nudity. An episode of CSI has more violence in first fifteen minutes than Brick has in the whole movie. Yet the movie is rated R for &#8220;Violent and Drug Content&#8221;, showing you what a load of crap the MPAA ratings are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night&#8217;s interstitial Cult Movie Night SPECIAL EDITION was Silent Night, Deadly Night (a Christmas tradition!) and Brick.
