Look who's on TV!
At least as much fun as part 1, maybe even more fun! More nudity, more kills and still a lot of dumb shit in space, love it.
Quite a bit of fun walking around this camp, luckily they are not the worst when it gets a bit warm with a shirt on. Angela works her victims in a nice way, the best thing about this is how they make everything come back in one house.
Funny that you immediately see the killer, no mask or out of sight shots (like part 1). Works well in my opinion because it requires little attention and the focus can be placed on the rest. Unfortunately it is less atmospheric than part 1..
Unlike part 1, the final denouement is unfortunately not very surprising but very entertaining. All in all a tight sequel, a lot of fun and hopefully part 3 will also be able to offer that!

More camp.
The film is a lot more self-aware than the first part. That means that it has all become a bit more comical and there is a big wink in it. Only it doesn't really make this film much better, it makes the director a bit lazy, I had the feeling.
I didn't really like the first one either. Poor acting, boring murders and a lack of tension managed to kill that film. The same can actually be said about this second part. As a serious horror it really failed completely.
As a comic film you can occasionally laugh a bit with lousy effects, poor conversations and bad acting. To what extent that was all the intention is not 100% clear, but it does ensure that the film is still somewhat watchable. But that's about it. Not the best series this.
1.5*

This takes place several years later after the first part. Has a different vibe, although the level remains nice and trashy. I find Pamela Springsteen as Angela quite annoying and therefore also suitable for the role. There is a lack of tension here, at least in something that looks more like comedy than horror. The scene with the toilet bowl stands out as the high (low) point. The gore is pretty well done, although most of it happens off screen. Still entertaining if you're into trash. Just enough for me to keep the attention going.
