A Fine Tribute to Cult Horror

This film was a fine experience overall, especially if you're into quirky meta-commentary about cult horror. It centers around the fictional legacy of "End Zone 2" and succeeds in crafting a world that feels steeped in nostalgia. For me, the real highlight was seeing Michael St. Michaels again-his presence added an enjoyable and familiar touch. The interviews with real people from the horror world gave it an authentic vibe that horror fans will appreciate. While it may not be revolutionary, there's a certain charm to "revisiting" these characters, and it's a solid watch for fans who enjoy a niche, self-aware take on genre history. Even if it wasn't completely for me, it still has its merits.
