Andre L. @ROTTENCORPSE May 17 More of the same misteps from the original, nothing was learned from the failures of the first film, but once they made their choices it was clear this was the director ignoring fans of the books and just making sure to fpcus on I injecting their personal ideology instead of compelling storylines.

You could honestly watch 1 or 2 as a standalone movie, but 2 absolutely blows the first one out of the water in my opinion. 2 is way more fun because we get to see more background on the killers seen in 1. Having these reoccurring characters makes this one even more gripping and entertaining to see these new protagonists grapple with the same or similar threats as the original. Very classic campy slasher film that isn't unoriginal and does not feel lazy when executing tropes of the genre!

Trading 90s nostalgia for summer camp carnage, the film leans fully into its slasher roots, and it works. While it may not reinvent the genre, it's a well-paced and bloodier installment that feels more confident than Part 1. The storytelling is tighter, and the lore surrounding Sarah Fier becomes far more compelling. Characters like Ziggy and Cindy are given stronger development, and the performances help carry the emotional beats alongside the carnage. The kills are more brutal, the tension better built, and the whole thing feels like a solid homage to classics like Friday the 13th. That said, it still doesn't manage to be scary. Suspense is sacrificed for predictability in some moments, and the film sticks a little too close to familiar tropes. But it's a more focused and enjoyable experience overall, and sets the stage nicely. See more ch3rrii S @ch3rriist4r Mar 2 hey this was pretty good See more Read all reviews
