Modern horror as it should be.

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2003)

Having read many of previous users comments I have noticed how polarised the views are. It is either love it or hate it. I am surprised, because FDII is what modern horror is supposed to be about. Lots of gore( this film is so gory that Ireland made it an 18 cert), plenty of shocks to make you jump and although none of the acting was Oscar winning, it was more than adequate for the genre. The film was pacier than the first and more graphic in the death scenes. My husband who I suspect is much older than your average reviewer was jumping out of his chair and said at the end "where do they get these ideas from"? He prefered FDI merely because it was less gory.
FDII is for it's genre a very good movie. It does not set out to do anything other that what it intends to do and that is deliver the gore, make you sit up and be surprised and does it all with a big tongue in cheek. These type of films are not meant to be analysed and dissected because they are not intellectual nor intelligent films but rather they are 'sit on the sofa, leave your brains behind and have a good laugh' I think the film's critics need to lighten up a little and see the film for what it is. That said, I hope they don't make FDIII that would be 'taking the mickey'.
