Flawed but still enjoyable sequel

After escaping from the rampage the night before, the lone survivor of a serial killer's rampage finds herself involved in a rescue effort suffering from the same fate in the swamps.

This wasn't nearly as impressive as the first one, which would've been a miracle in and of itself, but this is still a hugely entertaining and enjoyable slasher. Again, the ultra-high amount of gore here is the best feature as the kills are just over-the-top, brutal and just plain bloodsoaked goodness, really dripping with the red stuff and really just a blast. There's still a creepy swamp to use as the main location and with the rather frenetic last-half filled with carnage, this one gets to the end really quickly and makes for a fun time. There's some problems, though, mainly in the fact that this one's beginning is wasted with far too lengthy and clichéd a back-story for the killer, which really puts the slaughter a bit too late into the film, leaving it's good stuff all at the end before it gets fun. Also, the film seems purposefully set-up to deliver the gore, never once appearing natural or logical in practicality and thus really stand-out for the wrong reasons. Otherwise, this one was a lot of fun.

Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.
