Decadent Evil II

The first Decadent Evil was vintage Full Moon Productions, in other words it wasn't great but it at least had something going for it.

Decadent Evil II carries straight on from the original following our lovebirds from the original film, little Marvin and Ivan (Even though frustratingly he isn't played by Phil Fondacaro this time) With a less original storyline, less charm but a fantastic soundtrack full of unknown rock acts the film isn't without it's merits but certainly has less than the original.

A third part seems somewhat unlikely now and I think that's a shame. One more adventure for our human, vampire, little person & er....littler red man?! could have been good.

Decadent Evil II isn't bad and it's great that it follows straight on from the original but it fails to be quite as entertaining.

I believe I mentioned that the first movie had one of the most unusual sex scenes in movie history. This film pays homage to that and closes with one that rivals even that!? Cringe worthy yet laugh inducing.

Utterly pointless and mundane sequel to Charles Band's 'Decadent Evil' also made by Band and Full Moon.

Band has often said that his films are made on the cappuccino budget of James Cameron's 'Titanic' and here it feels like 'Decadent Evil II' has been made on the cappuccino budget of the first film. Set primarily in a real strip club with real strippers one can't help but feel that Band just wanted to audition a load of naked women (his erotica projects currently shelved as no one wants them) and see a load of live music (a big part of the film). Ultimately, the ugly puppet Marvin barely features being replaced with leading lady from the first film Jill Michelle (fully clothed) and hapless dude Daniel Lennox plodding around the strip club with average looking women getting naked and mediocre bands creating atmosphere (or noise at least). Though Phil Fondacaro narration appears briefly at the start of the film during a series of edits from the first movie Ivan character here is played by Ricardo Gil (Band's latest small person having also featured in Gingerdead Man). Like the first film the whole thing is a combination of weak sleaze and horny people but without the charm of the earlier movie (mainly created by some exceptional cast members and an original story). Making of (featured on the 3rd disc of a limited edition DVD release and NOT on the film itself) shows how much all the cast and crew loved Band and making the film. Can't help but feel that the guys enjoyed the free soft core and the girls liked feeling attractive (which in a grubby strip joint wasn't difficult). Mediocre.

The gentleman's club house band is really good! I'd swear I was listening to Chris Cornell or Tool.

I liked this movie from fullmoon, It was exactly what I expected, It was set in a great enviorment and had a good story. The characters were great because for me I didn't know who were the vampires and who weren't. I miss Phill F but recardo did a great job with the character Ivan. The music was great, Its good to see a maker of movies using local talent from the area he's filming at. B movies are my favorite form of entertainment and this one did not disappoint me. No one can say the ending wasn't great. It was good to be a hemuculas that day. The time I spent watching this movie was well worth it.

Don't know why it gets such low ratings. Lots of laughs, plus strippers. What could go wrong?
