The first movie left me unsatisfied with the revenge portion. As a woman, I didn't feel like the characters really got what was coming to them. I didn't see the original, but I don't understand how the remake was controversial.
THIS movie, on the other hand, did what the first movie failed to do! It is worthy of controversy. The movie was intense, shocking, and the revenge portion was satisfying. There were even a few moments where I cringed (something that didn't happen in the first movie). I appreciated the religious undertones and think they played well with the plot. The ending left me feeling satisfied. Overall, I thought the acting was pretty solid.
I would recommend it to people who weren't shocked by the first one. However, if you thought the first one was intense then I don't think you'll be able to hand this movie. The first half was almost too much for me; but I am glad that I stuck through it and got to experience the second part.
