Excessive, unnecessary violence and pornographic.

It would have been a good movie if there wasn't so much unnecessarily
graphic violence shoved in the viewer's face. It's a reflection on
modern society that this is what it takes to entertain a public which
is so jaded with that kind of thing, that nobody seems to understand
that once you see something like the gore in this movie, you can't
unsee it.

And the kicker was the unexpected pornographic sex scene between Sam
and the bartender girl.

All told, I wish I hadn't taken the time to watch this movie. I know that a lot of people will dislike this assessment, but those of you who fall in that category are members of the group I criticize above.

Just finished watching it on tv and wasn't to bad. Missed about 30min of it so must have missed the bit where he was banging the Bartender.....dammit!~

The sex scene was unnecessary although i have a hard time bringing to mind any sex scene in a horror that was necessary. The violent deaths on the other hand go to portray the sisters crazy. When he asks why she tortured them she replies that they tortured her. She hurt them physically as badly as she was being hurt mentally so, no i do not agree that the violence was excessive or unneeded, in fact i think it was important.

the bartender scene was not just unexpected and unnecessary, it didn't work with the script, because after it she told him, you are gay! which made it clear that the script originally wanted a brief scene were he rejects her after seeing his girlfriend pic. it was unbelievably stupid. i was wondering how such a crappy movie has a strong ending, the director and producers must have made love to the script so hard it was paralyzed.

Thank you. This was helpful in trying to decide if I should see this. I don't like gratuitous sex scenes or gore. I'll stick to the first two.

I really enjoyed the violence, and think that it could have done with some more.

Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman. Especially one who's interested in you.

Wouldn't watch this film without it ,it's the back bone of this film .Everybody knows the first one was the best .Look at it from a marketing POV the first made money so they just milking it for everything its worth.

Humankind cannot bear very much reality

"Excessive, unnecessary violence... reflection on modern society."

You're right. Younger generations have gotten better at being able separate reality from fiction, whereas older generations believe everything they see on TV and think their age is an excuse for lack of intelligence. Whereas this film has more legitimate issues than what some old hag believes constitutes as being 'unnecessary'.

Only three things in this or any world that brings about change: money, blood, and guns.

Agreed, RTD. Totally *beep* gore and the rest was garbage.

I gave it a 2.
