Reunion from Hell 2 (2022)
Reunion's always better second time around!
Not familiar with this series, but a huge fan of the Elm street series, decided to check this out as it promised the first time pairing of 3 Freddy alum; Mark Patton, Lisa Wilcox and Danny Hassel. And unlike most movies that promote alum from previous series, these three all have main parts; these aren't one minute cameos. They are prominent thorughout the whole film!
Elm Street folks aside, the Reunion movies are like a Scream homage; both are whodunit slasher flicks with interesting cast and backstories. While the first seemed a bit more run-of-the-mill, the second one shines in its cinematography, setting (cabin in the woods), and characters. Seemed everyone stepped up their game in part 2 to make it bigger and better. For an indie flick, sure some dialogue/scenes could be a tad better but overall was a fun flick and the actors involved show their potential on what they can do later on and show their commitment here. If you haven't seen part 1, it might help to establish more of the backstory but part 2 does a good job explaining what happened previously that it's not a requirement (I did watch both). Kudos to the cast involved here with some good gory kills and acting and eager to see where everyone goes from here. If you like slasher whodunit flicks, check this out.
