Looks like “The Gimp” from PULP FICTION has finally lost his shit – I mean, even more so – and graduated from crouching alone in a trunk to capturing civilians and torturing them, as evidenced by this trailer for THE TAKEN. Truth be told, it looks like a fun-enough slasher – hell, at least the production values are decent. Some of these flicks nowadays look like they were shot with a camcorder circa-1995.

Here’s the plot crunch for THE TAKEN: A group of strangers find themselves imprisoned in an abandoned hospital, captives of a masked, sledgehammer-wielding killer. Unfortunately for our victims, he likes to dabble in amateur surgery and human dissection.
