Can't Live Up to the Original

Rating: 6/10 (28 March 2019)

The characters that survived the first film return and the story picks up just as a film called Stab based on the events from the first film is released and somebody starts murdering teenagers again.
Suffers because its sequel and because of the genre, the writing is good and the performances are certainly above average for a slasher film. But despite the fun it has with sequels and references to all sorts of other things it still comes back to being a slasher film and that really is a limitation. The original had the advantage of bringing back and all but dead (sorry!) genre and parodied many of the situations and archetypes that typified those films, the sequel does not have that advantage.
