Notes:
*Finally the sequel to Stake Land is out!
*Shame that it's a Syfy channel movie though.
*At least they got the original actors to return!
*The actor of Mister even writes here which is pretty cool seeing that he wrote the first one too.
*The directors are new to the scene though so we shall see what they have to offer.
Pros:
*I love that they kept the look and feel of the original.
*The opening was surprisingly really well done.
*Syfy actually managed to not screw this up.
*It's a pretty solid sequel.
*The new characters are awesome while it's nice to see how characters have grown.
*There were a few creative and original moments that I liked.
*It leaves at the possibility of a third one, but to where it's also okay if there isn't.
Cons:
*It was a tad bit shorter than I would have liked.
*The fact that it was on TV toned it down a bit (So I hope there is a DVD release that is uncensored.)
*There were a few silly moments that kind of annoyed me.
Verdict:
For a Syfy channel movie this actually managed to pass as a sequel. Unlike most of their sequel movies this wasn't dragged down. I think it helped with the fact that Nick Damici returned as the writer. If you liked the first one you will like this too. It has it's downgrades, but it is a solid watch if you ask me.
