8/10
Second installment in Dustin Ferguson's "Meathook Massacre" franchise sure to delight fans of indie-slashers!
4 October 2020
While the first film in the series was shot on VHS, this chapter graduates to hi-def digital video, giving it a unique look and feel, but keeping with the same tone as the original movie. The plot this time around involves a young man who ventures into the dark, twisted world of "Bubba" and his cannibalistic family to find his missing sister.

What I like about this series is that each installment looks, sounds and feels totally different than the one before it, but there is enough connective thread to tie them all together. I think that keeps things intriguing for the viewer, as it doesn't feel repetitive. Robert Lankford again reprises his role as "Bubba" and does an awesome job in the part, creating an animalistic and scary villain for the franchise. Deborah Dutch is introduced into the fold as "Auntie Deb" and really shines in her role. Genre favorite Dawna Lee Heising also makes an appearance as a crazy member of "Bubba's" family and brings her A-game to the part. The rest of the cast does a nice job as well in their roles. I also really enjoyed the soundtrack of the film, with some songs provided by the excellent "Dragonsclaw" band. Dustin Ferguson is someone to watch out for in the business and really brings a solid second installment to the franchise with some fun twists, turns and plenty of the red stuff. He employs some interesting visuals in the film, especially the way the cavern sequences were photographed. Check it out!
