Don't Fuck in the Woods 2

The rating is based on what it is, not what soaring movies can be as this certainly is not. There is plenty of nudity, and also plenty of tattoos. Some of the nudity one may wish they hadn't seen. There are copious amounts of blood flowing at the key points in the movie. It is a summer camp, and Gil is a caretaker, who is also a felon who served 5 years in prison, let out for good behavior. But a local sheriff (?) who is very fat wants him back in prison. The camp counselors are present, but none of the kids. There is something evil in the woods, and it is transmitted by a slug type creature, but that is not its only form. As expected, little of the acting is good and it has the low budget vibe throughout. Gil probably does the best acting job. They are isolated 50 miles from anywhere, and the sat phone got broken so they cannot call for help. And the body count increases. If one has actually been able to stay to the end, there are out takes in the credits that shows they had fun making the movie. Oh yes, it ends with the potential for a sequel.

In fact, I've seen worse acting in major studio productions, even worse dialogue. The one thing that is definitive about this film is the effort and commitment put in by cast and crew. Kenzie Phillips has genuine screen presence while all the rest of the actors give it their best but aren't as convincing in their character portrayals. There is some dialogue that is misplaced, but most of it works and serves its purpose fine; the camera shots almost seem to get better once the action gets moving into the horror scenes, as before that much of the character-building feels standard film shooting; some humorous moments, not so much in the jokes or quips, but with special effects being overdone on purpose and splattering the characters.

The actual horror element beyond the gore and monster mutations is surprisingly well done, but it doesn't arrive until very near the end; the rest is a slow build-up but when the gore kicks in, it really kicks in!

I don't think you'll miss anything by not watching this film, but the next time you sit through a 2hr40m major Hollywood production that seems interminably boring, long-winded, and actors are just phoning in their performances, remember there are some films out there that offer simple 1hr30m enjoyment with far more conviction and genuine love towards what is being produced. It doesn't take huge budgets to make good films - just passion and commitment.

No pun intended - and I am not talking about doing number two in the woods ... you know the question they ask about bears going ... potty in the woods - of course they do. Well this is about the making of this - going bigger than the first movie. You could have expected it I reckon - especially if you have seen the first one.

It's been a while so I do not remember much of the other movie. But we do have some ... well leftovers from the other movie. And as with any horror "franchise" you can assume (rightly) that there is more to come. The ending (and added bonus scene after the credits) do suggest that.

All that said, in case you haven't seen the first one (not sure why you are here, but that is up to you I reckon), than let me tell: there is a lot of blood and a lot of nudity. Since it still is a low budget (even with more money than the first money) movie ... do not expect too much. I think this is a step in the right direction. And it still is all made as labor of love - no pun intended. And you can tell by the few outtakes during the end credits too.

A naked woman gets raped and impregnated by a monster in the woods. Pine Hills is a rundown summer camp opening for a new season. The young camp counsellors arrive to get the place into shape although their focus is not always on the work. The final girl from the first movie is walking the woods. A tattoo lesbian couple is doing that thing and gets attacked.

The first movie looks like a DYI project with a bunch of small town friends. They decided to pick up a camera one weekend. It's barely a functional movie and not even a full length one at that. This sequel is a low grade sexploitation B-horror. It delivers the nudity and bloody gore. It's an actual movie and well below average one. The acting is passable to weak. The writing is simple. The filmmaking is poor although slightly better than the first movie. That's what this movie is. It's slightly better.

After barely surviving the night, the survivor of a vicious monster attack stumbles upon a group of counselors at a nearby summer camp, but when they learn her warnings that the creatures who attacked her before have followed her to the camp must fight the deadly creatures to get away alive.

This was a highly enjoyable and entertaining creature feature. One of the finest points of this one is the rather fun setup that enables this one to be a clear sequel to the original. Explaining how she survived and is able to get to the camp which is obliviously doing their own thing getting ready for camp while spending just as much time seducing or getting laid does this quite nicely, being able to generate some solid sidestories here. With several of the girls trying to seduce the guys to varying degrees of success, the backstory of the ex-con working with them, and the decent work of the counselors trying to get the camp up and running, the ground-work is there for this one to connect the two films together. Once that setup has been accomplished, this one manages to introduce the two stories fully with her arrival at the camp in hysterics. Even though this has a fine start with the attacks on the hikers or their own stragglers in the woods, this one brings about the most fun once the creatures possess the campers and set out ravaging the company left at the camp. The inclusion of a fine suspense angle with them being unaware of the possession and letting the friends run wild picking off several in the area with some pretty impressive and brutal encounters that not only generate some highly effective action scenes fighting off the possessed but allow for a slew of impressive make-up work on the possessed campers and the bloody deaths. These manage to make for a strong and entertaining indie effort. There aren't too many issues here but a few minor factors do come up. One of the biggest is a slightly jarring change to the creatures here which changes them around from a humanoid deformity like the first one to a parasitic being that possesses the host for no reason. There wasn't much to the original that indicated that was how it operated since it was a proper creature whereas here it feels like a weird change that does have a lot of impressive biological functions as to how it all works yet that does slightly change up how the original came together. The only other issue here is a few instances where the budget comes into play, which is namely the rushed finale or some questionable CGI that looks somewhat obvious, but thankfully neither of these factors is too much of a drawback to this one.
