This was just a Gore-Fest. I rewatched the original movie and that was actually a movie that I could let my kids watch. This one was sawing people in half, ripping hearts out and not much story involved while doing it. I guess I would need to replay the video game, I know it was a little gory as far as games go for that time period, but this just seemed a little over the top. I think that the fighting along with some comedic pieces from the original are what made it a fun movie to watch, this one needed more of that. I won't discourage folks from watching it, they should and make their own judgement. But I would let kids or teenagers under 16 watch it. I would recommend the previous version of this movie as it was fun to watch.
