Um Dia Negro 2: Estrada De Sangue

The psychotic hitchhiker begins stalking Miguel Branco again, gone is the loneliness of a single driver and the rising of terror and confusion that he faced in the original, the main difference from the original is the addition of the priest.

Without doubt some of the action and deaths are well executed by director Rui Constantino and his team, there's not much CGI computer effects work in this until the end when it does tend to become noticeable and a bit distracting.

The indestructible hitcher survives repeated attempts on his life that would fell ordinary mortals, but Miguel Branco continues to try.

7/10

I like the concept of this film, and is definitely a classic in the horror suspense genre. Actor Helder Santos, really feels like a maniac, the way he walks, and talks, he won´t stop, even after he killed him in the first movie, evil never dies. It had top notch acting, a great on screen chemistry between killers, and the addiction of the priest, was a good call, it brought more intensity to the story, You don't need to see heads chopped off and what-not for it to be scary, it has more suspense than ever before.

A word of advice : Don't Pick Up Strangers.

This is the strangest film I've probably ever seen in the road horror genre. But interestingly, one of the best.

This movie had me glued to the screen, it gets right into your soul. Helder Santos is one of my favorite actors, and in this movie he stands out and is excellent throughout. No one does unhinged like him, a mysterious figure in a trench coat, thumb out, waiting to hitch a ride again, but this time to catch the one that hurted him Miguel Branco, and a priest Pedro Pinecross, that arrives to help him.

You owe it to yourself to watch this movie.

Great follow-up, was skeptical when I bought this movie since I watched the first one, the special effects in this movie are spectacular especially in the final scene. Remember this one will change what you think about sequels and direct to video movies. Is that great.

Just saw this great sequel, i want to congradulate all people involved in the production of this short movie, it´s actors, producers and director Rui Constantino, that once more deliver the goods, he knows what portuguese people want, i´m tired of all those comedies and dramas.

Now, let´s talk about this movie, camera flows and moves so smoothly and gently that the atmosphere is guaranteed to last throughout the film, a couple of scenes are totally outstanding in their virtuosity such as the scene where Ricardo gets out of the car, completely tormented by the ghost of Gregório, and then he beats his car, saying that he´s the only killer, there are no good persons in the world, there are only persons who can control their bad/evil side, and these two, are battling the forest roads for themselves.

The hitcher is pure evil and no one can change his thoughts and mind, because evil cannot be changed or turned into "good." I think in the future and with the help of the priest, finally he will be absolved of all his sins.

But until then, there´s many roads to travel.

A cult classic franchise, 10 out of 10 masterpiece.
