	Author	Review
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"The most depressing thing about this series is not the creativity of the bloodletting but the bleak view of human nature."	NEG
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Pretty heady stuff, if only it weren't still in the context of a relentlessly bleak, humorless, gimmicky contraption that wore out its novelty two movies ago."	NEG
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"It requires a stretch of the imagination too far, but there's still plenty of gore and tricksy murders here (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU

United Kingdom	Jamie Russell BBC	"A sequel that has nothing new just more of the bloody same (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG

United States	Nick Schager Slant	"[It] has slightly more kick than his prior effort (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
Ireland	entertainment.ie	"For a genre that's had so many greats, it really feels like the bar has just been lowered (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
