If you want an efficient splatterfest, here's your film. The sequel to last year's remake of the 1977 horror classic, it is produced and written by Wes Craven and his son but directed this time by Martin Weisz.
We follow a unit of National Guards, charged with delivering equipment to a group of atomic scientists, but who instead find flesh-eating mutants caused by past nuclear tests in New Mexico.
Most of them do not live to tell the tale, though the two prettiest (Jessica Stroup and Daniella Alonso) manage to escape Papa Hades, the chief mutant, who planned to keep them as breeders.
It seems inevitable that the franchise will produce another chapter soon enough. Meanwhile you'll have to suffer this.
