Cut Version - disappointed overall but it was OK
31 October 2011
I was so sad and so disappointed with this one. This is one of those movies where you wait in anticipation for months and months and are filled with joy when you are finally able to watch it (yes, I love my horror films lol).

To start off my review I wanted to point out that this movie to me was very tame compared to many, many others I have seen. Sure, this movie would probably be way over the top to someone who doesn't watch these types of things but I'm guessing its mostly people like me who would actually see this movie and as I said before… this movie was mighty tame for me.

I did like that there was a storyline. I think that maybe they could have done much more with the movie by focusing on the storyline if they were taking out the gore. If a movie doesn't succeed in achieving the one thing its advertising its going to do… and that's provide gore and make the audience sick… well then I think it failed in some sense.

I also wanted to add that I did see the cut version (2+ min cut out of the movie) so this may have something to do with the tameness of the movie. I did see a listing of what was deleted and it does sound pretty bad. I have a serious problem with censorship as most of us decent people who are mature adult are. If you're of age you should be able to make the choice for yourself of what you want to view. I always thought how lucky I am that I live in a world where there is freedom of speech, freedom of choice and just freedom overall…. But I guess we really don't, do we.

Overall OK movie. Considering that I LOVED the first one and think of it as one of my top ten all time favourites I was extremely disappointed. I believe it was because of all of the hype (and I've been through this before) you think your going to watch something crazy and it turns out to be just like all the other movies with just a touch more nastiness.

I don't want to rag on the movie too much but that's what happens when you advertise the extremeness of a movie that doesn't quite fit the bill. As I said I enjoyed that it actually had a story and without writing about any spoilers I also enjoyed some of the things they added that connected to the first movie.
