Hayride 2

source: Hayride 2

Anybody who managed to make it to the end of Hayride (2012) will know that the hulking sack masked psycho from the fields did not die in the original movie. At least the first film was bad in a semi fun way, this sequel however is simply abysmal. The acting is atrocious, the paper thin plot is awful, it's boring and features the most inept police force in the USA, despite their manpower, weapons etc it's down to two local lads to find and put an end (?) to old Pitchfork. One of the worst slasher movies that I have had the displeasure to sit through, avoid!

Again they're trying to re-create Friday the 13th under another name this will probably never end. The upside to this movie is at 13:35 Sherri Eakin Shows you side boob from the left as far as I can tell it's all she's ever done and all you'll probably ever see from her. Past that you'll get nothing more from this movie then you would Friday the 13th. P. S You'll probably be better Off watching Friday the 13th.

I'm pretty much a sucker for any kind of slasher flick, no matter how uninspired the killer or story is. Figured I'd pop this on for some Halloween low B fun while I worked out in my gym one day. I think this movie suffered from some kind of identity crisis. It was as if it didn't realize it should just embrace being a low budget slasher flick, and instead it used it's horrible actors to try to force the audience to become touchy-feely on a backstory that wasn't even provided (I doubt watching the original Hayride is going to change my opinion)... and even if it was, it wouldn't have helped them any... because of the previously mentioned horrible acting. The moment between the nurse and one of the brothers dragged on for so long. The sad, dramatic music felt so out of place every time a character died, as the camera panned in on the anguish of the person who witnessed yet another friend die. Nothing wrong with that, if it wasn't for the fact that the writers gave us no reason to care for any of the characters. The music itself also felt off. It didn't feel like dramatic horror film music, but more like it belonged in a war movie. Once again, I have no idea what the creators were aiming for with this film. As with even better low budget horror films, it was filled with plot holes and horror tropes to the max. One of the brothers twice tries to fight off the killer with a small knife, and both times he fails miserably. That might have been the best part of the movie, and the only sliver of a saving grace for me. The hilarity and futility of this "hero's" attempt to attack the killer.
