Knowing it's a kill or be killed scenario, the family prepares by arming themselves and start to fight back. After a few deaths, Baby and Otis find their way out of the house and start running for their lives in order to find refuge.
Once again written and directed by Rob Zombie and starring, Sid Haig, Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Ken Foree and Matthew McGrory.
The storyline for this sequel has much more depth than it's predecessor. As opposed to just being a gory slasher, Zombie has taken the characters he has created and gave them more emotion by turning the tables and putting them in the same situations they would typically have had their victims in.
The characters being portrayed didn't really show me anything new and played the same old crazy killers they had in the first which did nothing to help me enjoy the film more. In example, the scene's where the Firefly's were torturing and holding prisons captive seemed almost repetitive from the first as well as many other low key horror films.
Although watchable, it's not a film I would go out of my way to see. Zombie does get better from here in his filmmaking endeavors so do not take this as a warning to stay away from his films because you will regret missing out on his better work as it is excellent. If you don't believe me, I implore you to watch both his versions of Halloween. You will see exactly what I mean.
With everything being said and done I will throw this sequel a 5 out of 10!
