Awful until the last 10 minutes

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2006)

Let's get something straight from the off, this is not a horror movie where the scares come from the unknown, the film is based on gore and killings. The fact the film got as high as a 3 was down to the last 10 minutes, otherwise it would be languishing on 1.
It's not in the slightest bit scary as their is no tension, and twists as someone mentioned in the featured comment...where?! The director includes too many of the deformed characters too really feel scared by any one of them and he goes with the old mistake of making them almost invincible.
I haven't seen the first, but if this movie sticks closely to the storyline I'm unsure of why anyone would want to do a remake of it. It's one saving grace is that it creates a few protagonists that react in the same human way as anyone else would, making it easier for them to be related too or enjoyed.
Overall, only a good movie if you like gore, in terms of suspense, thrills, twists and a decent antagonist/s (which all combine to make good horror films) this film comes up WAY short.
