Debased swill.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
Just plain bad.
The New York Times by Dave Kehr
Ottman doesn't have the firm grasp of tone necessary to make his deliberate ambiguities seem other than simple confusion, nor the sense of humor necessary to turn the deliberate clichés into effective satire.
Awful in ways that are just clever enough often enough to make it intermittently watchable.
Chicago Tribune by John Petrakis
It's hard not to feel angry that you've spent almost two hours watching this moronic exercise.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Preposterous plotting and interchangeable young actors.
Wears its lack of originality in a crowded slasher marketplace like a red badge of desperation.
A poorer film than the paltry original even as it strikes a self-consciously clever pose.
Miami Herald by Sara Wildberger
Sophomoric.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
No style, no irony and no smarts, just a vicious streak that lasts 90 minutes.
