Sure, there's a bit of gore, but it's not excessive (like Reservoir Dogs, which is the most "pornographically" violent movie of all time) and it's all plot driven.
The ending is brilliant, as are the dropping of clues throughout.
I thought, after seeing the previews, that it was another gory rip-off. NOT!
It has originality (yes, it borrows riffs from other movies, but so do many classics...so what? Does it create its own originality? YES.)
The characters fully are developed and, contrary to Jeff's assertion, the venue moves from hospital to home to parking garage to....well, let's just say I don't think you'll be disappointed. the unfortunate title gives the wrong impression. This movie has little in common with "splatter" genre films; it's a sophisticated, cerebral (and a bit bloody, too) thriller.
