I'm a big fan of Darren Lynn Bousman, absolutely. But he doesn't have a 100% track record, and _Abattoir_ is not a favoured offering of his for me. There are so many great ideas scattered throughout _Abattoir_, but unfortunately it lacks a Jebediah Crane to bring them together into a single solid foundation. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

SO. MUCH. POTENTIAL. Such crappy execution.
