Negative Positive
Title: Tobe Hooper, are you listening?
Review: Director Kim Henkel claims that this is the "official" sequel to the 1974 classic - but this stinker doesn't do the original justice. It sat unreleased for over four years, then was let out of the can to capitalize on the latter-day success of Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger. They needn't have bothered. Again, young folks are attacked by a backwoods family of bizarros. Henkel updates the story from 1974, and throws in some new elements, but this mess never gets off the ground. I was fooled by the trailer, which looked great. But you can skillfully edit a trailer to make the movie look really good. At least Mr. Henkel can take a bow for that.
