They needed better kills and a talented FX artist. Anthony Wong's death for example should have been super gory and gruesome but instead you get blood dripping from one of the spikes. That's it. So you have a very limp slasher without any good payoffs and the chainsaw immediately brings to mind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which only makes this look more inept. There is a little bit of nudity but for a CATIII especially (was it even a CATIII?), this is very tame. You do get a decapitation but it's just done in shadows and most of the runtime the film is pretty dull. The characters are nothing to write home about. Unless you're into golden showers from guys (sorry not my cup of tea), there isn't anything shocking in this... ok maybe the Anthony-Wong-assisted rape but it seems nothing really happened there (she was still wearing all her clothes). The killer and his son aren't special either. I do like the war-games-nut getting his butt handed to him when things turn real but the film needed to be a lot more extreme or have a much better, more unique script and storytelling. I'd skip it.
