It's closing time
at Camp Placid Pines and all the camp leaders
are getting ready to go home to the civilization again. When
there are only three days left before they can go home they
decide to play a game of Bloody Murder. Once again, someone
has
taken the game way to seriously and starts killing
everyone who
comes near the camp.
So, I'm guessing that I wasn't the only one who had read
all these
smashing reviews on IMDB and Amazon? Well,
I for one knew that
it was just one or two persons that
had written all these reviews
to create a big buzz about
the whole movie, and as easily fooled
some people
are, the rumors about this being fantastic started
to spread quickly. I have to admit that even my
expectations grew
quite high. And so this sequel finally
sees the light of day, it
opens up in a cheesy dream
sequence and your expectations drop
faster than a
bomb. After the first 20 minutes or so, all you've
seen was almost identical to what happened in the first
movie,
but when the movie finally gets going, this actually
kind of
lived up to its rumors. It's gory, it's entertaining,
and it's
nude. While not being a totally satisfying movie,
this is still
so much better than the first one, and they
actually replaced
that ridiculous hockey mask with a cool
Halloween style one, which
resembled a bit too much of
the mask used in Bleed.
This was the
debut for many young good-looking actors
and actresses
and I have to say that it was quite a good
one, though I don't
think we will be seeing a lot of these
actors again, perhaps some
of them but definitely not all.
Katy Woodruff actually took me
by surprise as she gives a
terrible performance to begin with
and slowly gets into
character and ends up being a very talented
actress
indeed. Rob Spera, who directed some of the worst
movies in
horror history like Leprechaun In The Hood
and Witchcraft is still
not a very good director, but he's
improving. The directing looks good and all, but the
scene transitions look bad and rough and
doesn't look very professional at all.
If you are one
of those who's expecting a movie as
bad as the
first one, you'd have to think again. While
this is far from a flawless movie, it's still very entertaining
and doesn't rip off the
Friday The 13th movies as much
as the first one did. Also, it
tries to get away from the
average predictable teenage slashers,
going against
just about every rule in modern slashers there is.
I actually hope that there will be a Bloody Murder 3,
just to
see if they can improve it a bit more, maybe
even get it onto the
video chart. Who knows, Bloody
Murder 5 might even go onto cinemas
if they continue
to improve as much as they did this time. There
was even a quite suspenseful scene in this movie,
believe it or not.
Thank god there were no off screen killings, I was
almost certain
that we only would get to see like one
or two persons get killed.
Instead, we get a dismembered
leg, a person loses the head, one
gets a machete vertically
slashed into the head, one gets both
legs amputated by
our nice killer, one gets a chainsaw through the
stomach and one gets an arrow through the neck.
Then we have some
blood splatter aswell, which
doesn't feel very necessary to bring up,
I mean, compared to what I just said.
This is where this movie really fails, using the exact
same music
in two of the woods scenes as was
used in the woods scene in the
low budget
horror movie Granny. The rest of the soundtrack
is pretty
lame and definitely nothing original.
The movie that I didn't think was ever going to see
the light of day
turned out to be better than it
predecessor. This was actually quite
good and I want
all of you to rent or buy this, just to support the
making of a third movie, which I think might be
even better. The mask
has improved a lot since the
last time, and I hope that if they make
a third
one, they bring Trevor to the big city instead as
I'm not
that fond of camp horror movies. Still,
this is something that I think
everyone
should watch, just give it a try, I guarantee you
that you
will like it more than the first one.
