The first one was a horror masterpiece (the uncut version anyway), but this film just hadn't a single clue. When it comes to horror/slasher movies I think we can all agree that the sort with mystery killers are the way forward. Now, although this film tries to be a mystery thriller it definately isn't, if you don't suss out who the killer is in under 15 minutes you need your head sorting out, little clue, they're all exactly the same height apart from the killer who's taller...and the teacher who's...wait...the same height as the killer, yikes!
The death scenes are very badly thought out, you see the first one put imaginative twists on urban legends to make highly entertaining death sequences, the murders in this happen exactly as you expect they will 10 minutes before they happen. The murder based on the screamfest legend being the most obvious (not to mention sickening) example of the lot, not to mention the implausibility of all the crap that happens afterwards, the security guard gives CCTV footage (possible murder evidence) a student she met just a day ago, why did she say she got fired again?
And now for the...cough-cough...'acting', there's a girl in the movie who's supposed to be a bad actress, but seeing as the actress who plays her is a waste of space anyway, her portrayal looks like a bad attempt at a puppet show (that's not sarcasm, see for yourself). That's not all, the others aren't much better, the latino girl from training day (yeah, we know she looks good, but there are are good looking people with acting ability out there too), there's the geeky asian bloke from true lies and also the fat black guy from some teen comedy in too, I think its called hang time...nothing to do with his stomach I trust. Then there are the few actors who you might actually recognise, the killer...sorry...'teacher' is played by what's-his-name? Y'know... Supergirl's boyfriend...geek out of Die hard...who cares what he's called he's in it and let me tell you life has scer-oood with that guy, I'm no narco-cop, but look at him, the marlboro man of the drug trade. There's the fat woman from the first film who thinks she's Pam Grier, who's learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from the events of the first film. Finally Rebecca Gayheart is in it thank god.....for only 30 seconds, yet somehow upstaging the rest of the film, you'll see what I mean.
To tell you the truth I only saw this film cause I bought urban legends on one of those back 2 back videos and this was on the end of it, these days I just try to forget its there.
