I had high expectations for this movie, they were not met. The movie never delivered the scare value. Perhaps it should have been on, no actually I have seen better on Syfy channel. The set production was really good, not too dark, as a matter of fact, very bright set for this type of movie. The female lead was not that good. She could not decide if she was an young adult or a middle schooler. The male lead seemed more comfortable with his role. KMG (top gun girl) was just as strange in the approach to her role, lot's of drinking not much dialog.I love good horror movies and this movie was not it. Thin on the scares and bad casting.

The movie was better than I thought it would be. It took me a a few days to get ready to view the movie. I usually watch a movie twice (on-demand), but I could only stomach HC1 once. I had to get into a frame of mind to view this movie and I was correct. HC2 is far more over the top. Lot's of gore and surprises.

I thought the villain in HC1 was a great choice, but the villain in HC2 is off the charts!! I felt pity towards this guy (however brief it was)until he started his re-creation. I hope this guy was acting and not just being himself. I mean I have never seen someone so jacked up. I thought he was going to pass out half the time or have a heart attack. I hope he has a life outside creepy movies.

I was shocked after reading about some of the parts that where cut out. I don't know how much more shock value I could have took, although some of the cut scenes seem to merit a viewing. Which begs the question of why IFC, the benchmark of indie films, would cut anything?

Overall, I liked the movie for what it was,although it must have been a bear to shoot. I have to give props to all the actors in this film. At some points I could see the physical difficulty some of the actors were having with some of the contortions.

Big props to Sixx for shocking me another time!!
