A
crew of ghost hunters go to the cabin on Bloodfart Lake to make a documentary
about the scarecrow murders. Little do
they know the demented killer is back prowling around Bloodfart Lake in search
of victims. It’s then up to the survivors
of the first attack to save the film crew.
Return
to Bloodfart Lake is exactly the kind of movie I was expecting the first film
to be. That one surprised me with a
healthy dose of genuinely funny dialogue and a handful of gory kills. This one is pretty much the pits.
The
acting is even more amateurish this time around, even by those who were in the
first movie. Some actors even look like
they’re on the verge of laughing while reciting their awkward, profanity-laden
dialogue. Also, many of them speak in
terrible accents that get on your nerves the second they open their mouths.
The
original had some rough patches, but there was some genuinely hilarious stuff
sprinkled throughout. This one is mostly
just a chore to sit through. To make
matters worse, Return to Bloodfart Lake looks even cheaper than its predecessor,
if you can believe it. There’s even more
awful ska music too.
The
ending is particularly annoying. It features
(among other things) a breakdance battle with the killer, unholy marriages, sex
changes, characters from the first movie returning from the dead… and then…
nothing happens. It’s frustrating to say
the least.
We
do get an occasional stray funny one-liner (“Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio!”),
although they are more the exception than the rule. There’s also at least one over the top death,
but that’s still not remotely enough to make it all worthwhile. I mean what can you say about a movie in
which the killer shoves corn into a guy’s ears and he doesn’t even bother to
make a joke about an “ear of corn”?
That’s just lazy.
I thought this one was still funny and I loved how insane the ending was.
