Stuart Gordon

William H. Macy and Stuart Gordon: '[Macy:] I don't know if I find him a repulsive character. As a matter of fact, I don't....all the little pieces I find to be logical and true, true to the human experience.'

By design, nasty, brutish, and short...functions as drama because shock crosses through sensationalism to a kind of purity in the character study of a man in desperate need of repair.

Veteran director Stuart Gordon guts us with dark satire and twists the knife...[this] horror fable is enough to make weary gorehounds sit up at attention.
