CarousHELL 2

This is a sequel to a movie that you never knew you needed in your life. Steve Rudzinski is one of the best independent film makers around. If you haven't seen Caroushell 1 or 2..... go.....go now! You definitely won't be disappointed. The cast and crew on both films go above and beyond. Easily one of the top movies of 2021!

CarousHell 2 is the follow up to cult film CarousHell. Released five years after the original, had relatively no expectations upon this film but was expecting more or less of the same product.

The major problem with this sequel is how it tries to be to serious for what it actually is. The story makes little sense but it was knowledgeable how they made an origin story. The entire German Nazi story with those characters were just bland, not funny and the story was slightly confusing.

The acting is better and the production value is bigger but overall this film drags on longer and it isn't as fun or silly as the original. There still is some gory horror face melting, head blowing up and weapons to body kills but overall it is repetitive. Also they recreate the lone explicit scene with the unicorn from the original, only in this film is far worse and more comical. Quite surprised how the IMDB rating for this follow up is better than the first.

This film is about the human condition and the element of ow we accept the challenges in life. It's a story of truth, despair, love and integrity - one which envelopes the human heart and makes us ask the question...

What would Elvis do?

Once we embark on the journey of questing the unknown, we go deep into ourselves - into a vacuity of emotions - none other than realizing our fears and our hope and dreams.

This film takes us on that journey - where we become one with the unicorn...and we step into his character to understand his struggle - and we challenge the unknown that lay before us - striking us with awe and wonder.

A spectacle of magic- written swiftly with the deft hand by a true genius. Much like William Shakespeare or Hemmingway, each moment is just a fragment of time - a wisp into a speck of the element of space - where we embrace each adventure with bountiful lust for the search that makes us who we are.

A story so deep - so entrenching, that we get lost in it's structure and find ourselves in wonder - letting us know how small we really are - and what lay before us has no limits.

All aspects of film making are pushed - and the effects, costumes, performances and music creates the feeling that we too share the same adventure of angst - just as the unicorn.

Love story, action, drama, adventure, mystery, - it's all written so intricate and woven so tightly that every performance - from the young child to the evil Nazis is so mind numbingly accurate and believable that you would think that you are really there.

The tension is so tight, the smallest incident could make it snap - and you would lose your mind because you were so caught up in the moment - because the actors were so convincing in their roles.

The unicorn/human child is exactly like the ones I know...so well played with such realism...it made me believe and have the same fears and anxieties as if it were my human/unicorn child hybrid.

All in al - this is one movie which will draw you in and make you part of the action because everything is so well crafted from the first opening scene to the last = leaving you in a state of wonder and awe - a suspenseful and embracing realization that we are all just a speck in the universe - smaller than a grain of sand on the beach.

CarousHELL 1 was bad enough, but CarousHELL 2?!?! It's even worse than the first movie! It's just as cheesy as the original! Maybe even WORSE. When my mother told me about CarousHELL 2, I thought it would be horrible just like the first one, and boy was I right. The acting has definitely NOT improved AT ALL. The special effects were still cheesy too. But the one part I thought was the worst of all was... Duke... has... a SON!!! Robbie (which is the name of Duke's son) is WAY too far from being an improvement. I hope they stop after this movie, because Nobody would want to watch this movie... EVER!!!!! I wish the first CarousHELL was NEVER EVER CREATED! I'd rather watch PORN than watch this abomination they call a horror movie! Loop the best 3 seconds, put it in a commercial and throw the rest in the trash! I'm done with it! I wish I could give NEGATIVE stars to this stupid movie.

I am not going to lie I was excited to see this movie because of how much the production value went up compared to the first one, but in the end I was very disappointed. The biggest problem with this film is the scenes drag on for so long that it makes the film boring. The first film had outrageous scenes that made the film kind of enjoyable, but this one does not have that feeling. This movie tries to be to serious for what it actually is. The story makes no sense, it feels like it was thrown together within 2 days. The dialogue is horrendous I could not stand the lack of emotion that was put into it. The jokes were over used to a point where they got annoying( especially in the third act). This movie was just a little over an hour of pure nothingness. At one point I went to clean my room and when I came back it was still the same scene. Would not recommend.
