2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010)

Due to the many critical reactions and reviews burning this movie to the ground I had my doubts before watching this movie. 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams turns out to be a very nice sequel to the enjoyable ''2001 Maniacs''. 

When this year's round of unsuspecting Northerners fail to show up for their annual Guts N' Glory Jamboree, the residents of Pleasant Valley take their cannibalistic carnival on the road and head to Iowa where they encounter spoiled heiresses Rome & Tina Sheraton and the cast and crew of their "Road Rascals" reality show. Performing "The Bloodiest Show on Earth", our Southern Maniacs prove more than ratings killers.

Robert Englund, star of the previous film, didn't come back for this sequal. A big loss you would suspect but his replacement Bill Moseley, another big name in the horror genre, fills in perfect for the absent Robert Englund. He might even do a better job portraying southern lunatic ''Mayor George W. Buckman'' than Englund did. The rest of the cast all look like pornstars who stumbled in the wrong set. They portray a crew working on a reality show called Road Rascals, a huge reference to Paris Hilton's reality show The Simple Life, who want to shoot their show at redneck country. And they just happen to stumble on George Buckman and his crew. The biggest rednecks you'll find. Anyway, the pornstar look-a-likes are all terrible actors who lack any talent. They are saved though by their enthusiasm and not having the slightest part of shame. This results in a lot of great scene's where the characters go completely over the top.

The script is filled with one-liners and dialogs that are so bad that they become very entertaining. And that is a thing the film does well. It's filled with hilarious over the top scene's which resulted in me smiling through the entire movie. The gore is very decent as well. It's never realistic looking but it is very cool looking splatter.

The film does look very amateuristic and low-budget. This doesn't only go for the camerawork and camerasharpness but mainly for the sound/dubbing which makes dialog sound like it was recorded in an empty bathroom. 

Overall 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams is a very decent sequal filled with enough humor, gore, tits, one-liners and crazy characters to keep you entertained for the full 86 minutes.
