Morty is back once again to bring a couple of friends
worst nightmares to life. Mike's dad killed his mom
when Mike was only five years old, with Mike himself
as the only witness. Now, twenty years later, he and
his friends are going to his grandparents to celebrate
Halloween, but there's someone in the attic, just
waiting to crash the party...
I think that a sequel for the cult horrorflick "The Fear"
was as unexpected as Camp Blood 2 and Bloody Murder 2 were.
Anyway, three years after The Fear came out, this was
released. It's basically a stand-alone horrormovie since
it has nothing to do with the original. While The Fear is
quite an all right movie in my opinion, this is pretty
damn awful. There are too many conflicts between the
friends and Morty has been fed with way too many stupid
one-liners. Surprisingly enough, this actually made
more money than the first one even if it's far from as
good. This has a very high cheese factor and while the
movie does look pretty good, it looks very similar to
A Crack In The Floor which was also very cheesy but
looked good in some way.
Fear: Resurrection is directed by Chris Angel who's
also responsible for the two best of the Wishmaster
movies in my opinion, namely Wishmaster 3 and 4.
He's a good director I'll give him that but he
doesn't manage to remove that lowbudget feeling
completely. There's something there that makes it
so obvious that it's not made for cinema, don't
know what though. The acting is probably the worst
part about the movie though. The dialogues are very
silly and you can predict almost everything that
they're going to say. Gordon Currie is pretty good
though but even Betsy Palmer felt a bit off at places
in this film, take notice of when she says "Oh no,
I'm so scared of the dark", everything is just too
obvious, this one was made for the very stupid audience.
I wonder if we will get to see a third of these
Fear movies. I think that the concept is pretty cool,
but the fears felt more interesting in the first
movie. These characters fears were all pretty dull
and normal, for example; rats, blood, heights,
claustrophobia, clowns, water. You couldn't do any
really good killings with any of these phobias.
I think the worst thing about the movie was the
climax ending. Don't read the rest of the review
if you haven't seen it since some spoilers are
coming in the next sentence. This was basically
a slasher, so if I'm not mistaking, the killer
should be difficult to kill, but this guy seemed
to be as easy to kill as any big boobed girl running
around screaming.
We get some fake looking guts and hmmm, some blood
dripping from an axe. Why was this given an R rating
in the UK? I've seen kebabs that were gorier than this.
Indian pan flute and cheesy piano music is the main
ingredient in this recipe that should be buried deep
down in the ground. Seriously, I will die a happy man
if I never hear an Indian pan flute again.
The Fear is a very underrated movie in my opinion,
it might not be an excellent movie but it's still
totally watchable. This however is not the case for
its sequel. The Fear: Resurrection is pretty much
a stand-alone movie since it's got nothing to do
with the first movie. Also, Morty was so much
creepier looking in the first one. Don't bother
with this one unless your a big fan of wooden
mannequins and dolls.
