All over the place, confusing, psycho thriller that only shares a name with the original. Whats up with the screaming fleshy looking man things? They have nothing to do with the so-called "story" and just become annoying, not scary. Typical of the Wes Craven produced crap out there. He should of stuck to making his own films... back in the 70's-80's.
