WTAF????!!
simonlgordon14 June 2023
Arguably, this is the biggest pile of crap that I have ever seen. An embarrassing movie on every level. From the acting, to the script, to the effects, it's utterly ridiculous and laughable. Avoid at all costs and literally watch anything else instead of this. Do not trust any 9/10 or 10/10 reviews. They must literally be the cast leaving those. Like a lot of people, I am a fan of low budget horror/ B-movie horror. But, at least when it's done well, considering the restraints film makers are working under. This though? Wow has not got a singular positive thing that can be said about it.

1/ 10.

Fun and enjoyable follow-up

Trying to break out of her shell, a timid woman is asked to join a support group for like-minded people in the local community and begins making friends with the other people around her, but when a strange killer begins knocking people off in the group she has to learn the strange connection between them to get away alive.

This was quite a fun and stylish genre effort. That this one decides to focus more on the straightforward horror side of the story is quite enjoyable and has a lot to like. The opening assault on the group partying at the house has some genuinely creepy ambushes with the killer jumping out of the darkness to grab people, while the museum sequence is quite impressive with the camera-work sweeping in circles showing everything happening in the area in an impressive sequence. The later scene taking out multiple victims at a restaurant in brutal fashion is quite good, and the series of chase scenes throughout the finale is well-handled with the idea being taken seriously enough that there's a genuine threat posed by the killer. Still, even with the more prominent focus on horror, there's still a lot of genuinely funny comedy here. The idea of the killer's attack motives and general demeanor of the victims towards finally confronting the killer once they're aware of his presence is the stereotypical reactions involving cowering away in a hysterically over-the-top manner without much fear derived from the situation. Much like the hilarious therapy session, the encounter with the stripper at the classy art museum or the constant attempts at being politically-correct, the attempts at comedy throughout here are quite enjoyable and make for a fun time here as these elements give this one quite a lot to like. There are still some problems on display here. One of the biggest issues is the amount of padding and unnecessary filler in the first half that takes quite a while before it gets to its main point. A lot of the scenes here, from the banter after the meeting to the scenes at the museum or the group of girlfriends hanging out at the bar, all tend to go on way too long to actually be as funny as they should be which can disrupt the pacing just as much as the scattershot plot. That's the other real flaw as it tends to jump around with so many storylines that it's sometimes hard to pick out what's going on and why as not everything makes sense. Beyond these problems, this one was quite an enjoyable sequel.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and comedic drug use.

There better a part 3

Thinking that there was no way that they could improve on the first one they definitely proved me wrong. One of the funniest movies I have seen all year. They must have had more money as shown by the expert cinematography especially at the party scene with the fancy camera work. The plot twists at the end will blow u away. Hitchcock would have bowed to superiority of these twists to anything he put out. If this movie played in theaters it would have been a blockbuster starting all sorts of important conversations across the world. Everybody should see this movie even if you don't like it just because of it cultural importance. Of course if you want to see the same movie with the same actors making the same jokes with the same special effects in the background while pushing some pointless agenda then just go somewhere else and watch whatever the same studios are putting out. If you want true art and independent film making then don't just watch this movie. Tell everyone else to watch it.

watch this if you love awesomeness!

This is an amazing sequel to the slashening. Brandon Bassham truly loves his characters and his audience. Laughter, terror, and pure joy radiates from this amazing film. Any movie that costs millions of dollars make me feel kinda sick, so if someone can write something so funny and cool well, I want to see. You can just feel the love! Check this out!! If you truly LOVE indie movies and appreciate people who want you to have joy, check it out. You will not be disappointed.
