Martin (a fine and engaging portrayal by Connor Paolo) finds himself lost and adrift in the badlands after a revitalized Brotherhood destroys New Eden. Fortunately, Martin manages to be reunited with his mentor Mister (superbly played with rugged conviction by Nick Damici, who also wrote the spare script), thus enabling Martin to get revenge on the Brotherhood.
Directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen relate the tight and absorbing story at a constant pace, maintain a tough'n'gritty tone with a strong underlying sense of melancholy, make good use of various desolate locations, deliver some nice moments of grisly gore, and stage an exciting climatic attack on a compound with ferocious aplomb. Moreover, the strained father/son relationship between Martin and Mister gives this picture some wrenching poignancy. The sturdy acting by the able cast helps a lot: Laura Abramsen as a fiercely loyal feral woman, A. C. Peterson as the scruffy Bat, Steven Williams as the amiable Doc Earl, Kristina Hughes as ruthless vampire ringleader Mother, Zane Clifford as the frightened Juda, and Nicole Garies as the sweet Billie. A solid and satisfying follow-up.
