(HORROR) The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) - 2013 *


The thing with these films is that they are meant to be gruesome. There's not escaping it. They are based around a vile topic, and there is no way of covering it up.
The first film was hideous, but at least it was original, whereas this sequel was an utter shambles.
A psychotic loaner is obsessed with the first film, so much so that he decides to recreate the picture, frame by frame. To do this he entices some people to an empty building and kidnaps others.
The rest of the film is about how he tries to replicate the first 'Human Centipede' but fails horrifically.
No point in watching this whatsoever.

(HORROR) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - 1986 *


I'm not against sequels, in fact occasionally you can find one that is very good and sometimes (*shudder*) even better than the original. This is not better than the original, and in fact I'm deciding whether this might be one of the worst films I have seen this year. The acting is horrendous, almost funny in fact, the plot is as holey as a fishing net, and the characters are ghastly. Not really scary (as in the first film) but just really stupid. The main character, a girl called Stretch (for God's sake don't ask why!) runs around screaming and shrieking with a simplistic look on her face but doesn't seem to appreciate the basic fundamental do's and don'ts of running away from maniacs. She likes hovering around, shouting out 'who's there?' every thirty seconds, tripping herself up on virtually anything and generally making as much noise as possible so that she will be caught. (Do you ever notice in horror films how loudly the characters breathe when they are hiding from their captors? Well she sounds like a warthog with a cold).

(HORROR) Urban Legends 2: Final Cut - 2000 ***






First off, I really enjoyed the first 'Urban Legend' film. It was cheesy, but it was original and actually it did freak me out a bit when I was younger. Normally you never ever get a good sequel to a horror film. However, here you do. I thought this was scary, well acted (especially from the lead female) and actually I know the ending was a bit pathetic but it served quite well for the director to make another film afterwards (which he did do).
