---spoilers ahead, though you've undoubtedly read them already--- the film is very slow to start off, as with the first one (which is just as boring and pointless and also full of bad effects) stating an 8mm snuff film was sent to someone as a 'present'. The 'film' then goes on to reenact this 8mm film. This is where it all goes wrong: The first GP film was made (I presume, as it has no merit to it) to make people think they were watching a snuff film. It appears the second installment has been made for the same effect-but we are told it is a reconstruction-why? this makes the film pointless because it has no reason to exist, only to bore people out of their brains. A man spends 30 minutes cutting a woman into pieces. wow. And the point is? Gore in films like Evil Dead, Evil Ed, Bad Taste, Braindead etc., is FUN, it's great and I love it! With no story, gore on its own is just plain boring and pointless. And these great FX that other reviewers go on about? You mean like the bit where he cuts off her leg that is so obviously made of rubber, as it flops about in his hand, or the bit where he pulls her arm off and you can see the inside of the arm is made of sponge-These are good FX?!?!? Lame, very lame.
