The film is a poor successor to the texas chainsaw massacre. While a few effective sequences do exist (notably when we first meet the whole family) the overall effect is lame. The film is lit badly and at times tends to resemble the gloss of a T.V movie . The film gives up around half way through on its intentions to disturb, seemingly sensing its ineptitude. From here the film turns into a strange horror/action hybrid which is well below par. What surprises me most is the fact that this half baked turkey got banned in some countries.
