This film is simply boring. I could only make it half way through before stopping, and it wasn't the gross-out factor that made me stop; the film is just kind of boring. I think Fred Vogel is probably a pretty cool guy, and having learned a bit about the history of this film series from the Sick on Cinema podcast (which I entirely recommend), I find his long-term goal to make the scariest possible horror movie genuinely interesting. He also seems like a very affable guy, and he sure knows his special effects... but other than that, there's very little here.
In the time I watched this film, I saw a rape, some torture of a woman, a few corpses, and a genuinely funny scene where a man makes the serial killers look ridiculously weak and stupid. All in all, there just isn't much here to enjoy unless you're interested in films solely for their special effects, or you're looking for some deeper existential take on the film about the corruption of man. However, like some other extreme films, I've found that just hearing about them is more interesting than watching them.
