who was doing the touting ? probably the mainstream critics and audiences.

you have to take this in context - for the mainstream it was extreme.

for those folks (a lot of people here) who are into horror in a much deeper way then the casual movie goer - this movie may be tame by comparrison but for a theatrical wide release - it is the return of grindhouse - something that never saw wide release before.

if you're going to judge by hype - you should filter it accordingly.
