Redwood Massacre: Annihilation

Yes it's a typical horror, but if you love gore and little suspenseful jumpy parts then this is great. The effects were good, the mask the butcher wears is awesome, the acting was fine (not great but Gus was spectacular) It's definitely worth the watch for people who like gory slashers.

I was never expecting to enjoy the first film and I did, and I was surprised a sequal was made. This sequal is longer and takes more time with a story before we get into the gore, which there is less of here but thats fine as the story it self was good. So this time around a man that seems very untrust worthy called max goes to author that has made a book based on the legend and he wents his help to find the house of the killer. So they along with two woman and another man go into the forrest to look. In the same vein as the first film but we get to explore an abandoned labrotory which becomes the main setting. Acting still alright here and overall its an enjoyable sequal.

No pun intended and maybe the trifecta (word) that is missing from the title. The movie and sequel itself is anything but a destruction. Actually as you can see with my rating I kind of think this is well done. Considering people say that the older you get, the grumpier you get ... maybe I am not there yet. Bare with me - and this slasher movie.

I don't even remember the other movie - which is quite obvious considering the low score I gave it. This one however has way better actors in it, I would argue from the trailer I rewatched from the first, it looks way better too. And the effects are probably a bit more .. at least refined.

You get quite the bloody affair here (again sorry for the pun), but it works in favor of the movie. Unless you have issues and are faint of heart ... probably shouldn't be watching this anyway. The ending is a bit ... well lukewarm I think is what people would call it, but other than that, this works its charm ...

I am very surprised this movie got a sequel but I will say I loved that they used a character from the movie prior in the beginning.

Now it's pretty obvious that this is better then the first one; It's produced better, it's darker, the story was more interesting but still not that good and ended up creating more questions that were never answered, but they set themselves up perfectly for another movie so hopefully those questions get answered. Now something odd they did was change the origin story of the killer and even mentioned other attempts at making other killers. With the origin story changed they gave room for fan interpretations which is always fun; Mine is that the legend of the farmer was a planted cover up to mask the project and killers they created.

This is one of those movies where you have everything , the cast including Danielle Harris and all do a good job but sadly somewhere the script and a tight screenplay let them down. The director does a good job with creating some tension and atmosphere for a slasher, the make up and gore effects are excellent right through , but just something lacked here. I enjoyed the 2015 Redwood Massacre, this is not a direct sequel but has some connection to the previous movie. Don't go with the low ratings on IMDB, Watch it ,but you'll feel .. Oh this could've been much better.
