Dove Review

Before viewing this film, I knew exactly what to expect, or so I thought. The movie is most certainly a horrifically gruesome and gory addition to the three predecessors before it. The movie is rated R, but I saw things I had never seen before. After seeing this film, I am confident in knowing exactly how much the human body can endure in torture. I also feel like I was given an anatomy lesson without having to go to an actual mortuary. The movie did explain a lot of unknown things that the first three movies didn’t. The movie is left open ended, which reveals that a fifth movie will soon surface.

Obviously, we cannot award our Dove Seal to this movie as a family-friendly picture.
