And now he's back to kill his daughter, Sara, who is believed to be really Maggie.

Acting

Exactly what you would expect, nothing bad, but nothing real good either.

Gore

Some fairly inventive kill sequences, but nothing real gory.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

The story here is a solid one, and although not really original its a concept that has yet to be abused by the DTV horror market. While there is not much gore, and no nudity, i still enjoyed a good deal of this movie, as the story and characters where interesting,and managed to keep my interest for the most part.It did however start to lose steam towards the end. Not a great movie, but not a bad way to spend 90 minutes, check it out.
