Viewing Notes

Not a horrible remake but I do have a few issues with the plot. Nothing is nearly as creepy as the original or shocking in THAT way.

Still, there are some damn fine gore gags. Plenty of blood and guts that left me smiling and impressed.

Oh, and the lead chick (Jane Levy, from Suburgatory) is damn fine.
