Critic Reviews

RogerEbert.com - Mark Dujsik

Mar 9, 2018

An unexpected anomaly — a sequel that both is better than and fixes the problems of its predecessor. It's a chilling and genuinely frightening horror film, driven by some solid performances and Roberts' command of atmosphere, location, and relentless pacing. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Brad Wheeler

Mar 8, 2018

The film is a technical wonder, especially the sound design. There's also an excellent incongruity at work: Happy faces drawn in blood, viscous killers in playful masks and cheesy eighties music as the soundtrack to savagery. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Keith Watson

Mar 8, 2018

Opening with the pulsing synth lines of Kim Wilde's “Kids in America,” Johannes Roberts's film announces itself as a looser, bouncier, more self-consciously frivolous effort than its now decade-old predecessor. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper

Mar 8, 2018

Director Johannes Roberts is clearly a fan of films such as “Christine” and “Halloween.” The production elements are first-rate, including the expansive setting that includes multiple cabins, a playground and a swimming pool. Read full review

Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf

Apr 25, 2018

Bland, artless and unoriginal, it's a horror sequel as faceless as its mask-wearing killers. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck

Mar 8, 2018

This is the sort of exasperating horror film that whips audiences into a frenzy. Not because they're having fun, mind you, but rather because the characters behave so stupidly and self-destructively that yelling profanity-laden advice to the screen becomes a bonding exercise. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Hartlaub

Mar 8, 2018

Mostly it serves as a comprehensive manual of bad places to hide from a masked killer. Read full review

8.6/10 A truly surprising near perfect homage to old school 80s slasher/horror, that improved upon the mediocre first film by a massive amount. The John Carpenter influence within the ominous atmospheric camerawork and soundtrack was prevalent and worked flawlessly. The old trailer park8.6/10 A truly surprising near perfect homage to old school 80s slasher/horror, that improved upon the mediocre first film by a massive amount. The John Carpenter influence within the ominous atmospheric camerawork and soundtrack was prevalent and worked flawlessly. The old trailer park setting was so fitting for the overall story and served as an unsettling playground for brutality to set in. This film upped the intensity to an extremely entertaining level with some very unexpected scares and some truly bizarre and grotesque imagery. While some of the cheesy cliches were around, they felt like they belonged there for it to truly be an old school slasher. Instead of random knocks and stupid games played by the strangers in the first film, there were vicious bouts of action packed visceral brutality and damn right insanity by the villains. Johannes Roberts is a director to watch after this awesome film and his style is seeping with foreboding fun. Overall one of the more enthralling and exciting horrors I've seen.… Expand

As someone who really enjoyed the first film I'm quite surprised that a sequel took so long to appear. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew that I wanted to like this... and I did! I actually liked it even more than I thought I would, I was prepared for a lesser copy of the first film butAs someone who really enjoyed the first film I'm quite surprised that a sequel took so long to appear. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew that I wanted to like this... and I did! I actually liked it even more than I thought I would, I was prepared for a lesser copy of the first film but that's not quite what we got. Yes, it has the same basic concept, but other than that it's got a totally different vibe this time; 80s homage, stylish, hip, gruesome yet tongue-in-cheek and it works. You can tell that the director and the performers really cared about what they were doing and this entirely makes up for a fairly empty script. Visually, this is full of eye candy; and scares-wise it's pretty good too, I definitely jumped a few times and felt very unsettled the whole way through which to me. There was merely one moment towards the very end that I genuinely didn't like that I thought was one step too far in homage but overall my expectations were met and exceeded and not only am I interested in following this director but I'd like to see another sequel but only if the same level of effort is put into it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Forced in every way and its characters don't matter at all, even when they start to die and yet it wasn't as disappointing as I thought it would be.

But of course is completely forgettable, the main characters are exasperating especially for the repetition of situations.
There's an incredibly ridiculous moment where the young dude asks his father directly if he really plans to shoot the guy with a mask that is threatening them with an ax, counting the fact they're coming from a room where there are two dead bodies. Really?

If you manage to pass those elements I think you might enjoy it as an ideal film for a Sunday if there are no better options.
I give it a 5 because I liked the atmosphere and the handling of the camera at certain times. Those approaches from the old school were a nice touch.… Expand

A film that takes a 1980's slasher horror style but does little with it. It's hard to get behind any of these dumb horror characters and besides an interesting pool scene it not really worth your time. Overall I didn't hate this film but it's forgettable a high 4. C

How in the world does this have a 50 on here??? Terrible movie. The characters were SO dumb, like the dumbest characters I've seen in a movie in a while. Just such a cheap, conventional straight to DVD cash grab.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the sort of movie you should walk out on. I wished was over once I reach the climax of the film. The plot was ridiculous for a number of reasons, one of them being that certain things don't make sense. Although based off a true story, there are too many physical elements to the movie that are impossible/unlikely in real life. There were so bad elements that you may end up laughing at how bad the realism is. If you happen to see the movie (albeit a bad choice) you'll notice the antagonists draw out their actions. It is irritating. Don't waste your time with this film, as there's a strong chance you'll regret your choice.… Expand
