Watched this one tonight. I never cared to see the first movie, but I ran across this one for super cheap and figured what the F. Pretty much crap, but sort of fun. Surprisingly, the insane desert cannibal people just aren’t creepy and or scary at all! Just the concept of people living out in the middle of nowhere and eating passersby creeps me out, unfortunately the crazy desert fuckers in this film look like extras from Conan the Barbarian and act like the lobotomized dudes from Planet of the Apes, which is not scary… at all. Plus, I just didn’t buy that they were cannibals. A couple animal skulls thrown about and a bunch of goofy junk sculptures does not a cannibal make. I’m not a Wes Craven nerd or anything but I’ve seen Last House on the Left, and goddamn if that movie didn’t have some of the scummiest unnerving characters around. Not happening here.

Noteworthy scene: So at the beginning of the movie you witness this guy having all these flashbacks that consist of snippets of scenes from the first film. Later on you sit through some more flashbacks, only this time from a woman. AND then a little later you get a flashback sequence from the DOG. DOG FLASHBACK. Fuck yes. In case the other two survivor’s memories weren’t enough to get you invested thank god the dog remembers the crazy desert cannibal fucks that killed the rest of its family years ago. To be fair the dog was apparently the bad ass of the original movie, and he turned out another bad ass role in this one as well. Biting dude’s necks and pushing them off cliffs n’ shit. I kind of wish he got more screen time over some of the humans. 

Super stoked to watch this thing. The cover looks so gloriously awesome/terrible. There’s a good chance it might turn out to be mostly bad porn though…
