Movie Review: Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight the Sequel and Its Philosophical Monster

 



The sequel of Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight starts off like its predecessor - scary, violent, and with a monster tearing limbs off human beings - like for sport.  That's exactly what I expected and that is what I got!

I was wondering though when a 'twist' might happen, hoping that all that weird monster s**t will have something interesting to offer.  A movie viewer can only bear multiple human decapitations or body mutilations before it becomes trite and boring.

Interestingly, this movie just offers that 'twist' and it happens in the last 30 minutes.  This is the first time I've seen a horror movie where the monster waxes philosophical.  The monster is still there but it's like the thing is schizo - with a Dr. Jekyll - Mr. Hyde thing going on. 

Too bad the director or the writer did not explore that part more.  Or maybe, they are reserving it for Part 3!  

Genius!
