Review

the original version was so-so and the remake actually improved upon the idea. that, and the amazingly good teaser trailer, led me to watch this one. the sequel to the remake is directed by some asshole who couldn’t direct his way out of a paper bag and features some fairly awful acting and writing. it’s just a bad film in pretty much every single way. it’s got some cheap shot scares in the early part of the film, some extremely cheesy dialogue, some bad lighting and more. it does, however, deliver in the gore department. the opening scene is of a woman strapped to a table giving birth to a mutant baby and she’s killed shortly thereafter by a sledgehammer. but even gore fans want a more imaginative and well-executed film, so just don’t watch this one.
