It's a bit weird rating something when you know some of the people involved in making this. One of the producers and one of the actors that is. But I can't just give this added rating stars just because of that. I gots to keep it real - real as to what I feel and what I would tell people considering this movie. And it is what a friend of mine did too, who warned me about part 1 of these movies.
And right he was. This is filled with ... filth. Now obviously it tries (and I would say succeeds) to shock you. I would also assume that you should not feel terrible or say anything bad about the filmmakers. As in them being depraved or whatever. I don't know them, but I would think they tried their best in piecing together a movie that is or should work as catalyst for some.
But I can't find myself feeling any sympathy nor anything else remotely "good" about watching this. While this may have been intended at least to some degree, there is no redeeming factor to this. Torture, rape, blood and mayhem ensue. And happening almost any other minute. While there is no explicit intercourse (if that is what you want to call it), it almost completely numbs you ... especially if you can think of this just being a movie ... and that is the only way to stay sane ... and while the overall blood effects are at least decent, the "overlaying" effects towards the end (made in camera, but very badly), do not work at all.
Edit: there is one cut that is very well timed and made. It cuts (no pun intended) from a screaming woman to a man scrubbing the floor. The audio being eerily and almost identical. This may be one of the best cuts (audio wise), I've seen and I've seen a lot of movies. Still this does not elevate the movie as a whole and the "acting" in that follow up scene almost ruins that genius moment itself ...
