A remake of two halves that both have impact but don’t match up tonally.
A marked improvement on the 1978 original, handled with quiet efficiency by director Monroe, there's enough thrills and chills here to grip horror fans.
Audiences who like the spectacle of men being tortured and women being raped may well be the same audiences. For them, this film offers a two-for-one deal.
It's better made, more plausible than the original, the sexual violations less drawn out, the vengeance more violent and elaborate. Not a film for the squeamish or the fastidious.
