Prom Fever
High School Hell
Visciously ViralThis film has nothing to do with Cabin Fever. Oh sure, it has a silly plot tie in, but that's it. As such, I won't consider it a sequel and judge it as a standalone film.
And what you get then is something that Ti West does best, evoke a wonderful eighties atmosphere, much like he did in The House of the Devil. But this is more of the cheesy gore variety and I can't really fault it that much because it is fun, disgusting and creatively put together.
I don't think this film deserves the bad reputation it has and Ti West shouldn't be ashamed of it, let alone disown it.

Ti West may have disowned it but there's a lot to like about this twisted sequel. Porky's by way of John Waters and Troma.

This movie is just weird and bad. Like, surreally bad. I'm really torn about the whole thing because as a sequel to the awesomely fun and gory Cabin Fever it is hands down terrible, but as a stand alone horror movie about a virus breaking out at a high school prom it could be seen as kind of a goofy gorefest. And I really like Ti West. But, in good faith I can't really give it the benefit of the doubt just because Ti went on to make a couple of really cool horror movies. :-/

The first one was awesome, but this was just so damn lame.
Needed more of pancakes kid.
Everything is better either with pancakes or pancake kid.

Beautiful, 35mm mess. I understand Ti West was locked out of the re-edit. Such a shame.

I hated this movie the first time I saw it because of its complete difference from the first one. Different in tone, quality, mythology, location, pretty much everything. Now, I can see it for what it is, apart from being a sequel to a movie that I love.
Anyway, it's hard to tell what's Ti West's here and what isn't, I guess, because West left the film during editing and wanted his name off the finished product.
This movie is basically a comedy until the last act when it becomes something that resembles a horror film. There's an unnecessary and terrible tacked on ending to pad out what would otherwise be an hour and twelve minute runtime. A runtime that…

Ti West before he was "Ti West." The formal rigor of House of the Devil was much more unnerving than this, but I'll always have a soft spot for gleeful expulsions of gore. The fact that CF2 doesn't really add up to a complete film is too bad, especially considering how nicely it sets up the characters and high school milieu in the first twenty minutes. After such a well-realized scenario, it was a bit of let down that the remainder of the running time was just waiting for characters to start vomiting blood. The whole 'unstoppable plague' concept makes it hard to construct a satisfying plot (hard to ID a traditional villain, death is pretty much inevitable for everybody), so all that's left is the consolation of gushing viscera. Hey, that ain't nothing.

Infected punch at the prom...sounds fun but Ti West never makes full use of the scenario and regularly builds to limp payoffs. Nothing comes close to the ickiness of the leg shaving scene of its predecessor.

Menor que su antecesora pero bastante digna y entretenida. Con varios homenajes al cine de terror, menos sangre (aunque suficiente) y un par de escenas memorables, destaca como lado negativo su espíritu teenager del inicio.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A pesar de su destiempo, tenía grandes expectativas con esta secuela, primero por ser de Ti West y segundo porque venía precedida por comentarios muy positivos. Es interesante la forma en que intensifica los esquemas de la original, reconvirtiéndola en una comedia gore en la cual sin embargo lo más duro de ver son las miserias de unos adolescentes que usan el sexo como venganza emocional. Aparte de esta interesante premisa me pareció un poco decepcionante y bastante dispersa. El hecho de que la masacre central de la película ocurra durante una elipsis y la presencia de un epílogo de 10 minutos metido con calzador revelan que esta fue una producción con muchos problemas y manoseada hasta la saciedad.

I have yet to see the first one and apparently the first one is much better. This seemingly wasn't well received but from the opening credits to the Minimal Compact song playing at the very end I dug it.
I felt the characters were distorted versions of stereotypes and everything that happens to the two main protagonists is further removed from the usual clichés in these kind of high school horror movies. Even if in the end the movie clearly paints itself into a corner.
The side story I couldn't have cared less for though but overall I will probably include this on a horror night some time.

Holy Shit! I've got no recollection of seeing the first one. It's not needed anyway. The first and second are like chalk and cheese. I never intended to see this until the Mondo Movie review got me interested and grabbed a shitty 2nd hand R4 from a video shop closing down sale. It really goes to show I should be more open minded about things instead of writing them off! It really is equal parts body melt/horror and 80s John Hughes wanna be mixed with a little John Waters for good measure. There putrescence, semen, blood, saliva and pus covered over everything! I'd actually go as far to urge anyone with a passing curiosity to give it a go. It…
