Redwood Massacre: Annihilation

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 ...

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.

This is a standard lower budget horror movie. It is not a comedy unless you consider a mediocre plot to be comedy. There are corny parts through out the movie and some medium level scary parts. It had potential, but it just sort of missed the mark. If you have 90 minutes and you feel like a lower budget horror movie, try it out.

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.

So, we're in Scotland investigating a Scottish serial killer. But everyone is American. One fella seems to only speak in marine movie clichés, one man looks like my hipster barber, one lass seems to make up the numbers and then we have the lead female who works as exposition for the poorly conceived and executed narrative.

Slow, ponderous and, if possible, even poorer than the first film. Although we at least got some brief sense that these characters had actually met each other before, unlike the first movie.

The only gleaming light in this movie is that my hipster barber seems a fairly decent actor. Why I have to supplement him with expensive beard trims and hair care, I'll never know.
