The deaths up the ante to such ludicrously satisfying levels - the double-whammy of the pipe forehead impaling and the dude getting sliced to pieces by the barbed wire fence less than a minute apart from one another is so righteous - but the talking stuff between them is pure radio static, empty space in comparison to the first one which had weaker + less deaths but actually semi-intriguing writing. This opens with the potential to be a cross-examination of the different ways in which we all react to death, but instead we get junk acting and shit characters doing a lesser repeat of the first film with absolutely zero emotional weight. But really who cares, Tony Todd comes back and that lady got her head cut off by an elevator. Watching these practical effect dummies get tossed around in hilariously explosive vehicle wrecks, blowing up, getting smashed, burning, and getting skewered is a blast even with the occasional spurt of CGI blood from time to time. Rory the cokehead is the clear MVP here, his sincerely funny (and... get this, not forced) comedic relief along with the deeply comedic barbeque ending is the only time this movie even attempts to have any fun outside of the no-joke genius domino-effect deaths even when Ellis' direction is as dull as always.
