The team that brought you "Reanimator" made this intriguing horror movie that's quite different than the style of their past films. Movie is more concerned with building up to a select few "shock" scenes and the exploration of the mental breakdown of the title figure. However, the time spent on this material between the "shock" scenes is never boring, and actually has some genuine humor. Be warned, though - the eventual gore scenes are *extremely* stomach-churning, even for those who laughed at movies like "Dead-Alive". (Strangely, the most repulsive scene in the movie has no gore in it.) It's hard to believe this movie got an "R" and not "NC-17"! T.D. is a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the sequel!
