English The British narrative horror film Cradle of Fear tries to present itself primarily as a gory film, which it actually succeeds in doing. It's nothing over the top, nothing that's outright excessive, but the exploitation is there, the blood is flowing, there are some nasty scenes and it can be intriguing. Story-wise, the film is a bit weaker, the individual stories often lose focus on the story and get bogged down in blood, which didn't sit so well with me. ()
