~Spoiler~
Botched is a weird blend of splatstick gore and humor. The storyline is very simplistic. Stephen Dorff plays a thief who is hired by Russian gangster Sean Pertwee to steal a cross that belonged to Ivan the Terrible. Dorff pulls the job off but becomes stuck on the 13th floor of the building where things go from bad to bizarre. The gore is pretty outrageous and is also the punchline to many jokes; H.G. Lewis stuff if you will. And that's not exactly my cup of tea (I didn't care for The Cottage or Severence either). The character of Boris was the best thing about the film and was much deserving of his own movie. That actor just cracked me up and saved the movie many times. I can't really recommend this movie, because I've seen funnier horror/comedies, but it was an entertaining fluff piece (thanks mainly to Boris again). Botched is turn-your-brain-off silliness and you really have to be in the mood for that type of film in order to enjoy it. Keep that in mind should you choose to watch it.
