I was worried 'The Barge People' was going to be a waste of my time, but it turned out to be a fun throwback to old-school horror. There are some flaws with the writing and the cheesy make-up effects, but I chose not to be too critical about it, because the movie was exactly what I was in the mood for. It reminded me of '80s horror, although you can tell it was heavily influenced by 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'Wrong Turn'. Hopefully, it finds a fanbase, because I would like to see more of these amphibian/inbred looking creatures.

I see some people here calling this a remake and I'm thinking "Where they even paying attention!?!". This movie is a sequel and takes place during the same timeline of the 2004 version and the years 2005 and 2006. Only this time the curse has been brought to the US by the first nurse that was taking care of the elderly lady from the first movie. Anyways, I have to say the editing is a mess and most of the characters are lifeless, but the actors did their best with what was given. I actually like the cast and I think Lin Shaye and Jacki Weaver are the highlights of the film. Its biggest mistake was not bringing back the iconic ghosts that fans have grown to love. This is their franchise.
