Ultra-fun. Lots of in-jokes for horror dorks like me but not to an alienating degree. More attention is paid to the main characters, who I really didn't want to die! I love the premise of a horror film set at a horror convention/fest, and now I want all the Arbor Day movies to exist AND be on Blu-ray.
I’ve been catching up on Burt Reynolds’ movies this year, and I’ve fallen completely in love (HEAT was what really pushed me over) and I’m proud that he’s a Michigan kid like I am.
Watching this a few hours after learning of Mr. Reynolds death made it even more poignant. This is a touching, funny and truthful film, and it’s a wonderful swan song for one of the most American of the great American actors.
I enjoyed and admired the approach of the first, and I thought this was a wonderful way to do a sequel to something you wouldn't think would do a sequel. Keep the tone and style, stay true to the main character, but bring in new layers and a true match for them to play off of. I liked CREEP and I really, *really* liked CREEP 2. More original horror like this, please!
