I ticked the spoiler box but the movie makers spoilt this.

At the start this had my brain working, thinking where is this going, is it going to be a conspiracy trick/trap with a kidnapper and a sidekick SAW style? Is it going to get into graphic torture territory HOSTEL style. When the girl discovered the hidden room with a bloody bed, bucket & video camera i turned off because i really thought this isn't going to be a light watch, i would need to concentrate as i was doing something else while it was on, this is going to get nasty. When i put it back on the next day i thought this underground hidden room was connected to the other derelict trashed houses & some kind of terrible kidnapping plot was going on, and all manner of hideous crimes would be unearthed, something like BUFFALO BILLS basement or horror with a whole neighbourhood of participants involved.

No, it just got unbelievably stupid. A one man dug basement apartment complete with his own daughter who is supposed to be an inbred incest human but has superhuman strength, can smash through walls, crush heads, tear off limbs. Its like a serious movie suddenly had Peter Griffin take over as script writer.

A stupid film that could have been good if it didn't go the bizarre monster route.

I had to watch in parts, not because it is scary, because it is very long & doesn't have a story. It's good when put up against the crappy films of the last few years but thats not saying much. I thought the story was going to be that Art was the Girl & Boys dead father, it seemed like that was where they were going with the sketch book full of the victims from part one and Art the clowns face, why was the father drawing that, how did he know how the victims looked as they were killed? Never explained. But instead just went along to become bizarre like an acid flashback dream. The effects were too bad to make me feel sick in anyway, looked like joke shop halloween stuff being used. All the killings are very still, like the victim has to keep still so the effects dont fall off, or its a dummy body that if was moved would look ridiculous.
