Welcome to Under The Morgue.

From the tame and 'kid sister friendly' to the psychological and mindbending to cheesy splatter flicks to hardcore torture-oriented horror, there's something here for everyone, so why not dive in?

After hearing of the disappearance of the victims at the rest stop, his brother and friends journey out to find him only to come across the same supernaturally-powered killer and must try to put an end to his reign of terror at before others fall victim to his wrath.

What did everyone think of this one?
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

This here turned out to be a thoroughly uninviting mess, literally filled with lots of different issues that are nowhere near interesting enough to really carry itself out of the mire it utilized previously in the original. One of the biggest issues here is the fact that it gives the killer a decided supernatural presence, complete with loony back-story and motivation, which isn't a threatening motivation for a killer and makes no sense as, in part 1, it was merely hinted at and clashes now with the realism depicted there. As well, this one tends to trade in confrontations with the killer for having the group wander around trying to investigate what's going on and leading to large sections of time without anything going on, leading to even more problems with the boredom setting in at the worst times. While the gore and violence present do make for some good times and it's got a tense scene or two, it's not enough to mask the overwhelming flaws present.

I remember liking this more than the first film despite the fact that it wasn't AS intense/suspenseful and it got a little weird with certain things.

Indeed, I like it a little more as well despite that lack of intensity as despite the lack of coherent plot-lines this one's pretty good.

I like both, but this isn't as unsettling as the first one.

It's a decent, underrated series as a whole, though. Very strange. Very strange indeed.

I miss Raw Feed's movies.

It's about equal. When it hits, it's a lot of fun but the flaws are somewhat distracting and at times even detrimental to it. I've heard some absolutely love this one so it's at the least worth a watch if you're a fan of the first one.
