Graders (2012) - There were only a handful of reviews for this and they were all really bad, but I gave it a shot anyway. I liked it more than they did, but it's not what you'd tend to call a smashing success. Graders would have been perfect as a "Masters of Horror" type short, but at 90 minutes it became an endurance test. The most appealing aspect for me was the seafood inspection factory the people worked in. I liked seeing the prawns come down the thing and people putting them in one place or throwing it out wearing plastic gloves and smocks. They are the titular graders (I think).

A relatively attractive woman and her less attractive but still sort of sexy sister travel to some other part of Poland than the one they were in and work at the seafood factory. One of them disappears and the other sister thinks something strange is going on. Everyone speaks English for some reason (edit: google says it's very common among younger people) and their pronunciation isn't the best. It makes some of the acting come off as worse than it maybe is.

I liked all the authentic Polish scenery and there's a decent modern indy horror in there somewhere, but would not rec.

I had a ton of critical issues w/ this one - uneven acting, cheap and dodgy FX, plot holes and nonsensical backstories, plus the KILL BILL-style Chapter Breaks are redundant and cheesy.

That said, the first couple of minutes set this up to be a movie that I can get behind purely on principle - and ultimately it is That Movie... a film w/ its heart and its ideology in the right place. Rich people are immortal zombies who worship an unholy pig's head and we must destroy them before they consume us? Sounds about right to me! To be fair, KILL BILL is of higher quality but KILL BILL is also about absolutely nothing whatsoever - so in that regard, Advantage: TWKY.

I must also say that this is the most Acting I can recall Patricia Arquette ever doing, and good for her.

I must also also say I would love a ruthless action thriller that begins as this one did, w/ Beetz emerging from the closet w/ a sword and sawed-off to brutally dispatch hooded assailants, but then the bad guys don't regenerate and name-actors get offed immediately and stay dead... like GREEN ROOM but w/ more diversity.
