Review of The Tattooist (2007) by Curtis R — 15 Sep 2008
I loved this film. It was scarier and edgier than "The Grudge" & "30 Days of Night" which came from the same producer. Jason Behr was outstanding as Jake Sawyer, a tattoo artist who specializes in tribal healing tattoos from around the world.
While at a tattoo expo he meets Sina(Mia Blake), a beautiful Samoan girl who exposes him to native Samoan tattoo practices. Fascinated he steals a Samoan tattoo instrument which also happens to carry a curse when it injures his hand.
Everyone he tattoos afterwards begin dying mysteriously and he must turn detective in a race against time to save the last one he tattooed and the girl he loves, Sina. Great special effects and as a fan of Samoan movies and culture, I liked the Dvd featurettes as well on Samoan Tattooing.
