A couple moves onto a property in Arizona that used to be a torture ground owned by a serial killer, who rises for one more round of terror.

"Well what do we have here?" a.k.a "Machined Reborn", this is actually a sequel to the 2006 movie "Machined". I don't think you need to watch the original to understand this one...then again I don't think you need to watch this one. The acting, gore, and kills were pretty good, but there wasn't much else to this movie. I bought this for 99 cents when Blockbuster was closing and I think I just barely got my money's worth.

This film is as ridiculous as they come. Absolutely a moronic plot about a serial killer who comes back for one last spree. The torture is something rarely developed with machines and barbaric dismemberment. David C Hayes as Motorman is brilliantly played, but lacks menace.

The character Cade is so traumatized he dons a metal face plate and body armor while wearing a scalp such as an homage to Leatherface. The kill sequences are not very well played out, the acting is horrible and the editing is very rough. Throughout the film you can see the cuts when put together and shakiness via camera angles. This film could be a cult classic in the defiantly bad portion, but you will watch. 5/10
