Feast II: Sloppy Seconds

So part two. Was this film necessary? Not even remotely. The first Feast was all we needed. It was fun, fast, and gory, and ended on the perfect note. Feast II: Sloppy Seconds picks up where the previous one left off, but ignored the main survivors of the first film and focus on a new bunch, mixing some original, yet lesser characters mix in. All fine, except there are stretches of Feast II that are utterly boring, and add nothing to the overall story. Yes, story means little for something like Feast II, but nothing should be completely pointless. I liked the gore increase, but there were an extra fifteen-, twenty-minutes that could have been cut for the sake of the audience's sanity. When an hour-and-a-half film feels long, then you know something is wrong. That said, there are moments of genius inspiration, the best of them including the messy demise of a baby. It is shocking and unexpected (to a degree), but hilarious at the same time. I can't say I've ever seen anything like it. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton return as screenwriters, and famous for the recent Saw flicks, but are not nearly as sharp as their previous outing.
