just rented it, and i actually quite liked it.  i hate this piss outta anything limpbizkit, even when fred did that stuff with korn or other bands i thought it was shit.  but this movie works.  the three male leads are great, ritter down right amazing.  the last movie i saw of his was good dick in which he plays the polar opposite kind of character, showing his chops as an actor.  this guy really is a solid actor with a bright future.  His dad would be proud.

i know what you're thinking, but watch it.  even the music was restraint, and actually quite hypnotic. i would think the douchebag in Limp wouldn't be able to help himself.  but so not true, this is the antithesis of a Rob Zombie film; which comes across like his music.  both were douchebag rockers, one that now shows us a different side.  there were music cues that reminded me of the goblins doing argento, susperia comes to mind.  which might make you think wtf, but it really worked.  i'd love to DL the OST

EDIT - wow watched the trailer, that's piss poor, just rent the flick.

Eisenberg does his usual thing in an unusually strange film. Jason Ritter is scary in an exceptional way. I don't want to reveal too much about it cause I feel once I start saying one thing about this film, it will all spill out. I wouldn't have expected this from Fred Durst. Really un-nerving film. Allot of this stuff got under my skin. But Certain points of this film made my heart beat faster. Maybe its just because some of this hits close to home.
