2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010)
Comedy/Horror Rated R
Plot
When this year's round of unsuspecting Northerners fail to show up for their annual Guts N' Glory Jamboree, the residents of Pleasant Valley take their cannibalistic carnival on the road and head to Iowa where they encounter spoiled heiresses Rome & Tina Sheraton and the cast and crew of their "Road Rascals" reality show.
Acting
Features horror heavy's Lin Shaye and Christa Campbell, as well as Bill Moseley who replaces Robert Englund as Mayor Buckman. All 3 as well as the cast are very over the top and comedic.
Gore
Lots of over-the-top gore scenes that starts with the recreation of the famous barrel roll scene from the original, and continues throughout. Most all are outrageous and comedic, and only the electric chair sequence was really interesting.
Sex/Nudity
Boobs and man butt during a skinny dipping scene, a torture victim is topless, clothed sex scenes, including one between Shaye and Moseley, and a topless dream sequence.
Final Thoughts
While it certainly delivers on the gore and nudity viewers will expect, it fails to deliver the same near perfect combination of serious horror and comedy that the first remake had. Much like Cabin Fever 2 this is far too over the top and stupid to be as enjoyable as the far superior first movie. After such a long and well hyped wait for this sequel, it turn out to be a disappointment, and very skippable.
