Without threatening anyone's personal worldview and stating my own opinion, I liked this movie and thought it was far and away better than House. I liked House...okay. It was a bit over the top, intentionally I know, and was an homage to that exploitation, way out style. I spent a good part of it wanting to shoot Sheri Moon and just stop her from doing that annoying giggling thing. Overall though, I enjoyed it. I did not think a sequel with that same manic level would work so I put off seeing DR. When I finally watched it, I was really pleasantly surprised. They toned alot down. Not the violence so much as the overall feel and this one lost that whole teen movie ambience.

It forced me to do something that I am usually only able to do in revenge films by seeing the killers as people. Very, very screwed up and better off dead people, but the juxtapositioning of them as this family unit who cared for one another with the heinous, repulsive acts they could commit on others without ever seeing them as people was really intriguing and disturbing.

I applaud Rob for having the guts to kill them off at the end instead of saving the possibility of part 3 for a rainy day. I'm really loving him as a director because he's a true fan of the genre and it does show. He manages to give nods to all his favorites without being plagiaristic.
