Jeremy is having a rave and everyone is dying to
come. It's Halloween and everyone's busy getting
drugs for the big rave. What people don't know is
that the new drug, "Z", has a side-effect, it turns
you into a flesh-eating zombie. Will Cody and his
friends be able to stop them this time... or will
he even recognize them?


You might wonder what I meant in my plot description
when I said "will he even recognize them?". Well,
funny thing, these kids from the previous sequel
don't seem to recognize a zombie at all, even though
they've just been through a zombie massacre. Anyway,
after just having seen the previous sequel, I really
didn't feel like sitting through this one, especially
not since this one had actually gotten worse reviews
from critics than the previous one, but since I had
nothing better to do I figured that I'd might as
well see what it had to offer. Well, I was surprised
to find myself enjoying the hell out of it.

This sequel might not be better in theory, meaning,
to most people, this sequel probably is worse than
the previous one, but not to me. Why you ask? Well,
this is my world, I can relate to this, I'm a party
crazy DJ and I love big rave parties. Now, this one
might not have been the best party ever but I think
it gives the viewer a pretty true picture of what
raves are really like. The music playing at the rave
does however feel a bit outdated, if you like trance
music you will know what I'm talking about, the bass,
the drums, the synths, everything is pretty late 90s.

Either way, movies that take part at a rave or in a
good club are always entertaining for me and
I definitely thought this was a whole lot more
entertaining than the last movie. It has a lot of
gore, better actors, a much more original plot if
you ask me and some pretty good jokes. If you
like this kind of music and lifestyle, check it out,
if you don't, well maybe this one isn't for you.


Nice! We get decapitations, impalements, an axe in
the head and more! Now this is more like it.


As I said before, the trance music (trance is the
modern type of rave music) feels a bit outdated
but it still works pretty well and some tunes are
actually pretty good. We also get some rock music
but I didn't care too much for that.


Sorry people, think what you will of me but this is
what I consider an entertaining zombie flick. It
might not be a great one but at least it keeps you
entertained. If you like zombies and if you like
trance music (the best kind of music of course),
I definitely recommend this movie.
