  • Warning: Spoilers
    Our main story here takes place two months after the original films events and revolves around Patrick Wayne who was the brother of one of the victims from the first film, he returns to town and finds himself helping the farm woman from the first film, who is now being terrorized by the dog worshiping cult to give up her land for sacrifice, after they murder her husband. Our sheriff hero from the first film is also revealed to have went insane and is locked inside a mental institute. "Revenge" or "Blood Cult 2", defiantly has some changes going for it over the first film. For starters production increased and filming went from SOV beta cam to 16mm film. It now looks like a 1980s TV movie, they also managed to fork up enough cash to grab Patrick Wayne (John Wayne's son, who is obviously just here for the pay check as he's about as wooden as a post) and famous legend John Carradine (who was near the end of his life and looks very sickly). Director Christopher Lewis looks more confident behind the camera as well and his script which was written by himself gives the film a much tighter story and moves it out of the slasher territory of the first flick and into a more supernatural horror approach. This time around the killer and members of the blood cult can choke and/or cause a cerebral hemorrhage without using any physical contact whatsoever. It really helps the film manage to stand on its own two legs. However for all the improvements, the pacing is still slow and the films 100 minute run time could have probably been trimmed to 90 easily, its just to dang long. The kills are also not that great this time around either. However, the twist and final with the cult leaves me to give this a very generous 5 stars
