| Box Office Sara Schieron  More thrilling than the first but far less frightening | 13 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The film is an effective representative of its genre, and horror fans will like it, I think, but who knows? | 13 | |
| eye Weekly Neil Karassik Where the original juxtaposed graphic violence with tender moments of understated complexity and quirky humour, this virtually brainless and exclusively mean-spirited remake neglects every element that made the original succeed, instead declaring itself a senseless action slasher with absurd fight choreography lifted from a professional wrestling match. | 1 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Audiences with a brain cell left have only one choice: Look for the first exit on the right. | 5 | |
