Damon's Revenge

There's something about movies like this that always get me. I was glued to the screen right to the very end. Adriana was my favorite character and the way it ended had me on edge. Exciting movie, a really fun thriller. Easily 7 stars.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The characters are overdone stereotypes and the acting is so bad that I spent half of the movie thinking it was a foreign film with terrible voice actors. Also I think the world could do without Native American villains, especially ones referred to with a slur. The ending, like the rest of the movie, was predictable. I've never bothered to review a movie publicly, but this was so abominable that if I can save even one person from wasting their time watching this, it will be worth me wasting my time writing this. I really hope everyone involved with this project considers a career change.

Do not watch this movie high. Beware it is the worst acting ever. Especially Michael madsen in the first scene. He sounds like he is reading his lines for the first time and having a hard time seeing the words. That's about as far as I got into the movie while writing this review. You've been warned. Enjoy! I'm sad I never saw the movie that came before this. Also ladies, do not flash boobs for alcohol. There is an Edward Norton (younger years) evil character lookalike. I honestly have no idea what is going on in this movie but it makes for a good distraction and background noise. Probably should watch the first movie.

It's a sequel to Burial Ground Massacre. I knew something was wrong, but when everything is wrong, it's easy to miss it. Anyway, the plot you read on IMDB starts about 1 hour into the movie, don't even remember what happened before that. It has some hilariously bad moments, and overall the line deliveries, sound editing and dialog are all so terrible that you may get a decent laugh out of it. Not 100% sure there was a plot though.

After surviving the Liberty Manor massacre in Rhode Island, Adrianna (Chelsea Vale) is viewed as a sort of local celebrity. Her wild child friend from college (Hannah Dannelly) invites her out to a rural vacation home to party with friends and recover. Unfortunately, Tina has an unhealthy interest in the massacre and, worse, the Wampanoag mafia chief might no longer be in custody. Havoc ensues.

"Damon's Revenge" (2022) adequately relays what happens to the survivors of the film from the year before, but you won't find much elaboration on the title character. Disregarding his appearing in a recap, Damon doesn't surface until the very end. I was hoping for details on why he likes to torment Indian lasses in his torture chamber, as well as why the Wampanoag mafia hired him (no doubt because he's an effective killer, huh?).

Another issue is that this isn't as ambitious as the first movie, but at least it's a little creative with the hackneyed cabin-in-the-woods plot. The nudity is way toned down and there are no torture chamber sequences (not that I care about either). The women aren't as notable either. Still, the voice dubbing has been fixed (compared to the prior film) and Chelsea Vale makes for a serviceable protagonist, plus there are enough interesting things to keep one's attention, like the Wampanoag chief convincing an Indian deputy to do such-and-such.

The film runs 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was shot in Cromwell, Connecticut, which is in the heart of the state just south of Hartford on the Connecticut River.
