pointless gore fest and very unoriginal

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2006)

i went to an advanced screening of this movie I thought that i would consider myself to be a fan of horror movies, but i guess i was wrong. the movie was violent, but that wasn't that really got me. it was the thought of a nice family being horribly murdered off by some crazy freaks that did it for me. i really did not like this movie. it seems that the only way to make a horror movie now is remaking an old one and putting incredible amounts of blood in it. the story obviously was terrible and some of the characters really didn't fit their profiles. in a way i guess the movie did its job, but i just thought it went to far. Alexandra aja's movies are always pretty messed up and extreme. if your a huge fan or pointless horror movies where people are getting axed in the face then this movie is definitely for you. i am only happy this movie was free, but i wish i could've spent 2 hours of my life watching something else
