Yes, MSP has tons of good gore, violence, unpleasant sex scenes, but it lacks the most important thing: an interesting plot. Without a plot, all the violence displayed in the movie is non sense and uncalled for.
Sure there are some disturbing scenes but that's not enough to shock an audience. Some people could get repulsed by some really violent scenes but that's it. This is a movie that won't stay in your mind for a long time, and less important, it won't become even a cult classic in the genre.
Other thing that affected MSP is that it was really a lot of hype towards it. It was commercialized as "the most disturbing flick ever seen" or something like that but sadly, it's far from being even really disturbing. The fact that studio plants flamed popular Horror boards also didn't help the movie's publicity campaign. It does not even look like a snuff film.
Palumbo's direction is quite good (decent) for the movie's standards. He surely has future in the genre but he could get some help while promoting his movies. Also, the fact that having young actors (even a baby), in extreme horror situations does not means that it will increase the shock factor, it only demonstrates that Palumbo "forces" exploitation elements and sadly, they didn't fit in the movie.
Anyways, I wouldn't recommend MSP because it lacks of spirit, and it does not have a true plot. If you are fan of gore, sex, extreme violence, this could be an okay way to kill almost two hours of your life. But if you look for an interesting plot, character development, scare factor, among other things in a Horror movie, then avoid this one immediately.
The highlight for me it's the chainsaw death scene. It's brutal, gory, and disturbing. Not everything is THAT bad.
