He milks sad and disturbing things. It's the "shock factor" that he relies on to stimulate a positive response to his films. And that's what pisses me off about him. He found a formula that works. Teenagers like to feel guilty after they saw a disturbing film. I was a huge fan of kids when i was about 13, i had cable in my room. But i rented it on dvd months ago and saw how cheesy it was. But dammit you can't help but fall to it's charm. I didn't say he's a bad director, that's one thing he has going for him. The style is way too repetative.
