Totes perf vacay... well, not for long.
The character Courtney had a small role in the first movie, as the younger sister of Valerie, and now she's a teen trying to forget that terrible night she witnessed. She keeps having nightmares about a creepy man dressed in leather, and during the day she often hallucinates blood and violence happening around her. What Courtney needs is a vacation, so her and some friends head to a condo for a weekend of partying.
Dancing around half naked and spraying champagne on each other, they effectively destroy half the house with a pillow fight. It shows the movie is willing to have some fun, instead of just torturing poor Courtney. Pretty soon a couple of love-interest dudes show up, too.



Fowl play !
(pictures can't do it justice)
Courtney's dreams and hallucinations keep intensifying, as she sees blood baths, blood burgers, and gets assaulted by a chicken that was in the fridge. What the heck? Some of it's pretty silly, but there's still a creepiness to everything as they create a vibe similar to A Nightmare on Elm Street . It's not too bad, until...
The last 20 minutes has the weirdo in her dreams become a reality, which seems to coincide with Courtney losing her virginity. It's not explained how or why, but he shows up and starts killing people with the stupidest looking guitar in the world. This rockabilly clown is the complete opposite of the quiet, focused killer in part one. The gore is pretty crazy, but watching this idiot joke around and giggle like a hyena killed my fun faster than he can kill teenagers.


Even Gene Simmons would be cringing.
After a bloody spree and a musical dance routine, it abruptly ends. But they throw in some sort of twist ending... Or is it? I am not going to waste time thinking about it.
Alright, so it sucks as a sequel, but does it stand on its own? Not really. If you want some cheesy slashers, go watch a Freddy or Jason sequel instead.

Be sure not to miss:
- The chicken. It's hilarious and disturbing, forever seared into my brain.
- The two cops are named Officers Voorhies and Kreuger.
- The whole "psychosexual manifestation of fear" thing is not lost on me, I just found the killer so annoying that I don't care. He ruined the movie.
