horror, through Ricky, takes its revenge not only against naughty breachers of filmgoing etiquette, but also against blowhard critics.

Flavorwire

Everything feels like a first take, the dullest moments are padded out to their maximum duration, and even the kills are markedly lacking in effects.

Though Part 2 isn't much more dignified than its predecessor, at the very least its isolated pleasures have a culminating effect.

Rated: 2.5/4

Midwest Film Journal

The franchise equivalent of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" — a great second half undone only by the preceding padding.

Rated: 3/5

The Wolfman Cometh

Given that it significantly recycles footage from the debut film, it's a laughable excuse for a sequel, yet the inclusion of those scenes and injection of more absurdly could still make it better than its predecessor.

Rated: 2/5

...half a complete waste of time and half a midnight-movie-friendly endeavor that could only benefit from a raucous screening...

This may just be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Basically nearly the whole thing is a recap, I urge you to never watch this film. Do not watch this film, you will waste 2 hours of your life.

oof. more than half of this movie is a recap of the first movie. Ricky is a boring character and Eric Freeman's performance was not good. and overall this is a boring movie. you can tell that they had no ideas on what to do, they probably had a short little script and they said "we can drag it out by putting a 41 minute recap that has barely any new narration and just feels like you're watching the first film" and to be completely honest, having the sequel follow the younger brother from part 1 is an easy concept that could have easily been pulled off if they just executed it better. they also try to throw in these romantic elements and they don't work for me at all. this was such a boring, rushed, and blatantly obvious cash grab that i can't even have dumb-fun with. there're some cool kills and effects but yeah man i don't know. this was not it at all!! and even though part 3 has bad reviews i'm kinda hyped for it and i have a feeling i'm gonna love it just by the description i read and the fact Bill fuckin Moseley is playing Ricky, but i mean we'll find out.

Some movies are so bad, they're good. This isn't one of those movies.
