This is definitely the most brutal horror film I've ever seen and one of the best aswell. The effects in this film are top notch and the storyline is much stronger than the original, the acting is more believable too. This film is nothing short of a horror classic.

By far the best of the three This is a child of its time, clearly, and it might not have aged perfectly, but it is a solid movie, and highly enjoyable. The effects are stunning, the narrative fun and engaging, the characters lively and fun, and the casting and directing about as good as you could make it. This deserves to be watched.
