This slice of shot-on-video hentai horror kicks off with a crazy old woman stealing what looks like all-butter shortbread (perfect with a nice cup of tea) from three statues wearing red hats. This causes an earthquake (!) which releases ancient demon spores from a cave into a nearby pool of water.
Unfortunately, this pool is precisely where a lesbian professor—part of a group of students and teachers who are spending a few days camping in the woods—decides to refill her water canteen (having built up quite a thirst after a bout of frottage with one of her sexy pupils). She accidentally ingests the spores, which causes the eruption of huge, thrashing, veiny, slime-covered tentacles that seek out new victims and enter the nearest orifice, thus allowing the demon to pass from host to host.
Just like its predecessor, Angel of Darkness 2 features plenty of hot Japanese girls in various states of undress (and sporting the obligatory big white panties), massive prehensile penis-like appendages, and a fair amount of slime. However, this sequel proves to be fractionally more entertaining than the original thanks to its slightly raunchier nookie (still not overly explicit, but definitely a tad hotter), more risqué tentacle action (including a tentacle blow job!), a tiny smattering of blood (particularly in a sex scene that goes horribly wrong for the guy), and the director's shameless plundering of scenes from The Evil Dead (film fans will have a field day spotting the bits stolen from Sam Raimi's horror classic).
By no means an unmissable hentai classic, but still worth checking out for fans of extreme Japanese weirdness. 6.5 out of 10, but not quite good enough to warrant being rounded up to a 7.
