A smart sequel that improves tenfold over its predecessor. It neatly swaps style from lurid pulp slasher to Texas Chainsaw style gritty daytime Southern horror, keeping the characters that fit and putting them in new contexts that work surprisingly well. It retains 1000 Corpses' penchant for playing with genre conventions, but does it in smarter ways, using all the tricks in the book to show you the worst, scariest people in the world then get you to like them ("Tutti fuckin' Frutti!"). And the ending is sublime.
