Ok i hate to review with spoilers but i kinda need to do it there, but at the same time its not like the spoilers aspects really give away crucial plot points...
I watched the first movie last year, taught it was a basic but alright slasher movie. Looking back i should had gave it more than 4, probably a 5. It was creepy, gruesome, it didn't bring anything to the genre but it was alright.
Now for some reasons they decided to make a sequel... bringing scream queen Danielle Harris (who does a fine job in her role) and honestly... i think this movie could had been alright if "Max" would had been the new killer.
You see, you are presented with a bunch of characters trying to find out what happened with what i guess is the first movie murders, you seen a picture once but its really brief so im not sure if this was a character from the first movie who got murdered. You also meet Max, wich right away is presented as a bad guy that kill the first movie "final girl" (but recasted...) and i think THIS could had been really interesting if done properly.
The problem its not. They decided to turn what was a basic but alright slasher movie into some kind of governement conspiracy thing? Turn out Max was just another hired goon or "prospect" by them, he get outsmarted and left to be slaughtered by either the first movie killer (i don't remember if he died) or a new one? Either way at this point we just don't care anymore.
2 character seem to survive and kill the killer, but are unceremonouisly shot down by some kind of governement agents we only briefly heard about in one scene when she call for help.
Honestly, if you are some kind of dude who click to read spoiler reviews without having seen the movie you probably thinking "whuuuuuttt" and yeah you wouldn't be wrong. The story is a MESS. And no its not just me badly recaping it.
So sure the actors were fine, Danielle Harris did a great job as usual, the Max character was creepy just enought and i hoped he would had get a better role overall, but otherwise the movie is so disapointing. Its not even like the kills are great. The best kills are made by Max, the copycat killer (i guess) and otherwise the masked killer from the first movie do not do much. At some point he saw the legs of one random dude but we never even met him before, its like "who are you, why should i care for you" ?
This movie could had been just another creepy fun slasher, but turned out to be a huge disapointement and a try to make a low budget slasher flick into something bigger wich it is not. Im generous with a 4, like i said thinking back i should had gave the first a 5, cause this one is clealy inferior.
Even if you enjoyed the first movie, you don't need to watch this one... it brings nothing good.
