Just watched this last night on DVD and, no, I'm not going to say I want my life back, neither that it is a masterpiece. The acting is quite good and it's maybe the best thing about the movie, although the charachters were a bit underwritten.

The plants were kind of an unusual horror villain, and it is for me a good variation on the human vs. nature theme. Some of the actions of the characters didn't ring true or believable, but, for gore enthusiasts, there are some fine scenes that can make even hardened horror fan cringe so it's worth checking it out.

All in all, don't expect a life changing experience, just a bit of fun.

Gore fans will enjoy it more than most.
