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

An engineer quits his job, rents his home and buys a junkyard in the desert without consulting his wife. Then to top it all off he plans to be a mechanic, after all how hard can that be for an engineer to be a mechanic...in the desert.(Let me know how that works out).

Once you get by that, his wife, Davina Joy sports a fairly nice rack, which she is very proud of in the movie for those who require some nudity. They are worth the price of admission. The wife is eventually taken prisoner by sicko, Motorman Dan. The husband sees his wife tied to a torture chair and is forced to kill people who stop by in order to keep her alive. The husband ends up in a silly metal costume to perform the deeds.

Motorman Dan has a "Saw" quality to him. In the movie extras we find out that while rehearsing for the movie, Motorman Dan sneezed and did a twitch which seemed to worked pretty well. So in the movie, Dan has got a nervous twitch that adds to the psycho effect.
