And before I start getting negative ratings towards my reviews, I must say that I watched the movie objectively. I always get bashed when I give negative reviews to most of Mexican slashers and I feel good for doing it. To support Mexican cinema does not means that we should watch all kinds of crap.
Anyways, I watched "Vacaciones de Terror 2" and I can see a slight improvement from the original. Pedrito's acting still sucks but at least he plays a more decent leading role. This movie obviously was inspired by the Friday the 13th flicks but here we got a monster instead of a masked killer. But the idea is the same. Sadly, the Mexican effort is beyond terrible and cheap.
Gore is present through all the movie but sadly enough, the scenes that provoke it are extremely cheesy. The slasher genre was dead by 1991 so I guess that my fellow countrymen tried to get easy money with an effective formula: b-grade actors and gore.
Don't watch this movie. Not even as MST3000 material. Avoid it at all costs. It's part of a cheesy era of slashers.
I must admit that I enjoyed as cheap entertainment these movies way back in the early 90's but now, when I watch them objectively, I reach to the conclusion that when you are young, you can accept anything...
