Best laugh I've had during a film at Frightfest, and not for the reasons the director intended. Reading through some of the comments on here has made me chuckle again - sorry to those who felt the laughing was inappropriate, it's hard not to get caught up in the humour around you and the ridiculousness of some of the script and plot.
My favourite line of the film was when 'Jack' (can't remember the character's actual name, so that will have to do) gets back to his sister's apartment and is greeted by an old friend on the police force, who he asks what's happened. His response - a sad shake of the head followed by, "It's not good," is a massive understatement...

If you cut off my head, what would I say... Me and my head, or me and my body? What right has my head to call itself me?

jonbly's got this lovely image of Jack Bauer (in twitchy drug-withdrawal mode from Season 5ish) dashing about, desperately trying to destroy everything that could possibly generate a reflection...
"Window!" Blam! tinkle...
"Bald guy with shiny head!" Blam! thud
"Puddle!" Jack splashes the puddle everywhere like a small child with their first pair of wellies
"Stop this, Jack!" "Your eyes... they're reflecting me!" Gouge gouge "Nooooooo!"
...
jonbly will go lie down now.

Anyone seen the BBFC explanation for the 15 rating?
Hmmmm.This film was originally shown to the BBFC for advice. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive an '18' classification but that the requested '15' could be achieved by making some reductions throughout the film. In particular, the BBFC suggested (i) that the bloody spray in the slashing open of a throat in the opening sequence should be removed, (ii) that focus on a badly burned partially naked woman, crying out in pain, should be reduced or removed, (iii) that the protracted bloody detail when a woman's jaw is ripped apart be reduced, and (iv) that, after scissors have been pressed against the neck of a young girl, the sight of scissors being drawn across the neck causing a larger bloody wound be removed. When the finished version of the film was submitted, edits had been made, reducing the strength of the stronger moments sufficiently for the content in the film to be allowable under BBFC Guidelines at '15'. A version comparable with the original advice viewing, with stronger moments restored, has subsequently been classified '18' on DVD.
