Excellent Thriller, Better Than First
by ihateeverymovieisee2003-08-30

"After reading so many poor reviews about this movie, I was reluctant to see it for myself. Terry O'Quinn's stepfather character is even more psychotic than he was in part one! Mr. O'Quinn deserves an Academy Award for this performance. But seriously, the movie is good from the standpoint that it is just a thriller about a troubled man who wants to start a family. The only problem is, he will kill to make that dream happen. Thumbs up on this one for me. Take it for what it is...."

💡 Did You Know?

Several additional moments of gore were filmed after principal shooting on the movie had wrapped. That is because the Weinsteins, after a test screening of this movie, complained about the lack of blood and demanded re-shoots. Jeff Burr refused, and another director was hired to do the re-shoots. In an interview, Burr commented, "they cut a little bit of (the film) out and they added some badly done blood effects. Badly done, because Terry O'Quinn refused to do it. Really, they were meaningless, so that was irritating."
