San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
You're smarter than this, but occasionally it tricks you into thinking it might be up to something you haven't considered, like an above-average, extra-bloody episode of "Scooby Doo."

50
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Has slick production credits and performances that are quite adequate given the (narrow) opportunities of the genre.

50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Has a dark, low-budget feel and an incongruous combination of self-consciously jokey patter and gross-out gore.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
Schlock, but amusing schlock.

38
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Although it's recycled from start to finish, there are some decent jokes laced throughout, plus enough gore to satisfy the most bloodthirsty tastes.

38
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
You cease to care as they fall back on a catalogue of clichéd shocks, tired camera angles and an ever-mounting gore quotient.

38
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Awful in ways that are just clever enough often enough to make it intermittently watchable.

30
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Preposterous plotting and interchangeable young actors.

25
Miami Herald
Sara Wildberger
Sophomoric.

20
LA Weekly
Paul Malcolm
Wears its lack of originality in a crowded slasher marketplace like a red badge of desperation.

20
Film.com
Gemma Files
Basically a dressed-up piece of drivel, a self-referential pseudo-thriller with pretensions to pretensions of classic Hollywood suspense.

20
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Doesn't do much with its pseudosavvy characters.

20
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
Predictable, gratuitous and just self-referential enough to believe itself hip and knowing.

20
The New York Times
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.

20
Los Angeles Times
David Chute
Has promising raw material to burn--and that's pretty much what's been done.

20
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Simply a lousy film from start to finish.

20
Village Voice
Nick Rutigliano
Simply less campily moronic than its predecessor, a tired kill-by-numbers.

12
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
It's hard not to feel angry that you've spent almost two hours watching this moronic exercise.

12
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
Just plain bad.

10
Variety
Robert Koehler
A poorer film than the paltry original even as it strikes a self-consciously clever pose.

10
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The only quandary in this film is in where to begin despising it.

10
Film.com
John Hartl
If you've seen one "Scream" rip-off, you really have seen them all.

5
Mr. Showbiz
Cody Clark
As for genuine willies, well, chances are you've had more disturbing encounters with, say, a belligerent Shih Tzu.

0
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
No style, no irony and no smarts, just a vicious streak that lasts 90 minutes.

Entertainment Weekly
Ty Burr
Debased swill.
