This movie is degrading towards the whole genre as well as all of humanity. It is impossibly incoherent as well as violent to the extent of poor taste. Not that violence is an issue here, it's just so blatantly used in such a sick context that it makes this particular viewer feel rather ill and depressed. However, its most unredeemable quality is this; it totally, injustly (once again)takes a classic piece of horror (arguably the best film in the genre) and changes the whole meaning of its representation of violence and horror by making it all so obvious and grotesque to the point of nausia. Sure, its well shot and contains nice booby shots, however this film is just grim and uses excess of violence and terror in all the wrong ways. All in all, it just doesnt pay respect to the films aetheticism which was the only reason the original film in that franchise was the only good, let alone it being an all time classic. The original was subtle in its portryal of violence and this film was the complete opposite of that by being rudely explicit and unredemptive for no valuable reason or explanation whatsoever. Only for screen entertainment; in other words we're all psychopaths who enjoy a good snuff film?
