Sonia Braga proves that age has nothing to do with beauty, and is absolutely stunning as Esmeralda's mother. As Esmeralda, Ara Celi is equally stunning. Lennie Lofton and Rebecca Gayheart do just fine as the puritanical couple who can't believe their bad luck, while Jordano Spiro offers lots of surprises as the outlaw Reece. The film is just as vicious as the first film, with numerous special effects set pieces that will absolutely thrill the film's intended audience. There's enough western action and horror thrills for two films, so you really get the bang for your buck.
Vampire westerns are usually anemic.
