For the uninitiated, this film will wreak havoc on their senses, as sexuality - both moral and amoral - violence, and gore are on full display in HMWT2. Now, that alone does not, in its own right, make it a good film, but there is a method to what is on display here, though, seemingly (and again, for uninitiated), it is just nothingness interspersed between mutilation. That is not the full story, and the viewer must make his/her own decision what is being said in that context.
I applaud what the filmmakers and producers were able to do with such a small budget, as the fx looked pretty darn good. And by fx, I mean the viscera. There isn't a whole to address on technical levels, as the director uses tricks of the low-budget trade in order to make up for monetary shortcomings. Sharp and quick edits, black & white, onscreen static, shaky camera, and dim lighting all allow the director to "get away" with shortcomings. The "tricks" aren't as bad in HNWT2 than in some movies, but they definitely get in the way, imo. They don't, however, ruin the film, and in some scenes they actually contribute to the "vibe."
Look...there is nothing new or ground breaking about this indie film, nor is it something that experienced indie horror fans will flock to, but with a lack of decent, TRULLY independent extreme films being made, this will definitely tickle your pickle.
Definitely not for kids, or the squeamish.
