The Everglades Killings

With low expectations and not being familiar with the first film (having not heard of it prior but noticing that this film has two different titles- Lake Fear 2: The Swamp, and The Everglades Killings).

With a majority cast of lesser known actors with very little acting experience (many of them seem to be non actors with this film being their first role- perhaps thete were simply friends of the writers/director or got hired on location).

There is definitely an amateur feel to this film which can work in its favour as it seems like there wasn't much of a dialogue script. A main problem is there are too many characters and the film is short so it's difficult to fully build each one. Of course the main attraction is the skin shown (many women in bikinis, a wet t-shirt contest early on, one character in a full frontal shower scene, a brief shadowed sex scene).

Overall it is predictable with the killings but there wasn't much explanation of why the killers were killing (what was their motive?). The very end scene is quite graphic and captivatingly dark and gruesome. Looked very legit with its special effects. This film isn't great but also watchable enough. Don't expect anything great or high quality.
