gore

“Bring Her Back” contains enough gore to swamp a blood bank.

The capacity of film to genuinely frighten, via editing, camera, music and—notably in a Wan film—ambient sound was being abandoned in favor of gore and giggles.

There’s also a walking dead character added to the mix, so expect gore in the form of goo, brains and bugs.

Routines are spliced into low-budget practical effects, gore and gags, inspired by other horror movies with fitness themes like “Death Spa,” “Body Melt” and “Killer Workout.”

The original got through its gore scenes with grim brutishness, like it was embarrassed that they had to be done.
