Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

TdSmth5 I haven't seen Hayride 1, but it looks like this one is supposed to follow right after the events of that movie. We do get some flashbacks of the killer being killed or injured and also being identified as some old guy.Now he's transported in an ambulance with the cops following behind. The EMT is working on him, but surprise...surprise, he wakes up, kills the EMT, kills the driver and the ambulance flips over. The cops behind crash into a tree.Then somehow Pitchfork makes it to the hospital where the survivors from part 1 are, and there's a bunch of them for some reason--two brothers and the pregnant girl of one of them. At the hospital Pitchfork starts killing random employees and eventually goes after the survivors. He kidnaps the girl and takes her to his lair. The cops and the brothers go after him for the resolution.Hayride 2 is a C-horror movie that looks like a B-movie. It does look good and they make lots of use of coloring tricks. The villain is one big scary dude. It's filmed mostly during that day, but unfortunately even crews with little budget insist on filming the climax at night. And filming at night without a budget results in a dark ugly mess. It is after all a C-level movie, with an unfinished script with plenty of nonsensical elements. Violence and gore are kept to a minimum. Nudity amounts to a girl's back. There's an awful lot of talking going on accompanied with ridiculous melodramatic piano music. The person in charge of music really botched it. But then again, some of this endless babbling on should have been edited out to begin with. This movie is a decent wanna-be slasher, just be ready to fast forward quite a bit.

Platypuschow First of all I have to say considering this was made three years after the first movie it is impressive that it follows on directly from the previous's finale and includes the original cast. That kind of stuff makes all the difference and this franchise deserves a hat tip for that but that alone.Pitchfork returns and continues his killing spree with the previous movies survivors trying to stop him and as with the first you'll see nothing even remotely original and wall to wall clichés.Again it's not entirely terrible it's just poorly thought out.Richard Tyson returns again but only in a flashbacks capacity.There are worse horror franchises than Hayride and truth be told though they aren't good you can do worse. Combined this is a 3hr slasher epic which badly falls short but does have a couple of things going for it.The Good: Follows straight on from the first complete with cast The Bad: Unforgivably boring in parts Defies logic and reason Things I learnt from this movie: Heroes can wear wifebeaters to A dozen stabs in the back can be easily walked off

Hellmant 'HAYRIDE 2': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)B-horror flick sequel, to the 2012 indie slasher flick 'HAYRIDE'. Both films were written and directed by Terron R. Parsons; and tell the story of a legendary serial killer, named Pitchfork. Most of the original cast actually survived the first film, and returned for this installment; including Jeremy Ivy, Jeremy Sande, Sherri Eakin, Corlandos Scott and Wayne Dean (as Pitchfork). The film is pretty bad; but if you like slasher flicks, you might get a kick out of it. It turns out the escaped killer from the original movie, Pitchfork (Dean), isn't really dead; and he's back to wreak more havoc, in southern Alabama. The Summers brothers, Steven (Ivy) and Corey (Sande), once again have to do battle with the madman. Steven also must, once again, protect his girlfriend, Amanda (Eakin); who's targeted by Pitchfork. Detective Loomis (Scott) is also back, to chase the notorious monster; as he also learns more about his past.The film is about as cheesy as they get; poorly acted and filled with horrible dialogue. It is entertaining though, if you like this type of movie. I never saw the first film, and I don't really think I need to; after seeing this one. I'm sure if you've seen one 'Pitchfork' movie, you've probably seen them all.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/BpWXjqkP56w

distancedself I'm a horror movie fan, all genres, this was bad. The gore is the only redeemable aspect of this film. The acting is god awful. It seemed like the actors were doing separate monologues and were unaware of the other person's performance. The worst part was the awkward pow-wow between the nurse and the main character that just seemed to last f.o.r.e.v.e.r. Way too long to just say "if you ever need someone to talk to..." It's so bad I'm in complete shock. How do any of these people have jobs? The filter they used on the film is absolutely wretched. One of the guys at the hospital looked like he had orange skin! The camera angles didn't make sense either. It seemed like they were trying to mimic artsy style horror films with odd close ups (at certain times) and failed badly. I do not want to know what Hayride (1) is like. I'm sure it does not deserve a sequel. Please save your money, time and brain cells. Do not watch.
