Video Violence 2

This film is among the thousands of B horror films that I have collected over the years. It has to be one of my favorites in my collection. In order to appreciate what this movie has to offer, you have to be a die hard gore fan. It centers around two guys, Howard and Eli, who form their own talk show with no subject other than splattering innocent victims on national television. In between segments they show cheesy commercials and homemade splatter films sent in from fans. My favorite segment has to be the retired cop and his homemade electric chair because it was funny as well as gory. In fact, most of the film has a deep sense of humor to it. True, there are plenty of gore scenes (very imaginitive but not very convincing)but the movie will make audiences laugh more than anything. If you're looking for academy awards and oscar nominations, this film is not for you. On the other hand, if you just want to see a fun film then I highly recommend this one. It will definitely be a different movie experience for you.

This sequel to Gary Cohen's Video Violence follows our two sadistic killers from the first film, Howard and Eli. These two crazy cats have moved from making their little snuff films and have gone to do bigger and better things. Now they host their own pirated T.V. show where viewers can send in their own homemade snuff films.

This film, though nothing close to as good as the original Video Violence, is one entertaining little flick. Unfortunately the film feels as though it falls short. It seemed more as just a special feature for Video Violence 1, rather than a whole new film. This may be because the film has such a weak plot.

I kind of had the impression that the original Video Violence was a film that was taken very seriously with the intention of making a well put together film, and that this sequel was made just for fun. Video Violence 2 is a lot more campy and focuses on humor more than gore.

Over all the film is very entertaining, but didn't really feel like a full length movie.

Video Violence has some hilarious scenes and a great premise, but it largely fails to deliver. Although a lot of enthusiasm clearly went into it, it suffers from significant problems with its pacing and writing. However, it benefits from some energetic performances.

The film consists of an episode of a new show by Howard and Eli, murderers who like to broadcast their killings, and tapes of killings sent in. The film does not have a plot so much as it goes from one kill scene to another. This is not all bad, as there are some interesting kills.

The problem is that the film also have a large amount of filler to get it up to barely feature length. Some of the murders drag out with too much dialogue, and not very good dialogue at that. The only thing that keeps this from a lower score is the enthusiasm of some of the performers, particularly the guys who play Howard and Eli. They know not to take this too seriously and ham it up.

Man the plot and acting for this movie absolutely suck. However, I can say that the acting is so bad its funny, in a campy sort of way. However, the saving point of this film is the kills, which are actually somewhat creative and extremely gory (as well as fairly realistic). Not bad work for a film with what looks like a $2,000 budget.

Shot on a home video camera with amateurish production values. Video Violence 2 is...well Video Violence. Howard and Eli host a pirate cable T.V. show that has a cult following. They air tapes submitted by their fans actually killing people in gruesome ways. And it is supposed to be funny. They even have a commercial for a toy that bites the throats off of children! Hilarious! I actually found this movie (If you can call it that) really funny. They remind me of the stuff me and my friends do with video cameras. Not for the weak stomach, the effects are gruesome. I recommend this for people that has a taste for low budget cheesy stuff.
