It was pretty tame compared to the other two in the remake franchise, mainly because it was more of a revenge thriller than a rape/revenge exploitation film. The original rape is alluded to with quick flashbacks, but the viewer isn't forced to suffer through it. Other atrocities, like the teenage girl's, are told through exposition.

Having said that, as long as you're not expecting the uncomfortable viewing the franchise is known for, I actually enjoyed it, maybe a little more than the first two. It's not constrained by the ultra-bare bones plot of the predecessors, and tackles much different psychological territory. There might even be a twist thrown in, but I'm not sayin nothing.

Yes it's a little cheap, some of the acting is uneven, and many of the characters are cardboard caricatures, but I found it enjoyable. If I did half points, I'd give it 6.5/10, but I don't, so 7/10.
