     Sequels.  To some that word is almost vomit inducing while others get a boner just thinking about their favorite films getting a follow up.  I personally enjoy it when I discover a movie and at that same moment I learn that that film also has a sequel or two.  That gives me a great opportunity to have a movie night or a small marathon.  I am also the second kind of person that I mentioned earlier that gets way too excited for a sequel.  After watching Cory J. Udler's Incest Death Squad I had to pull down Incest Death Squad 2 from my display shelf and give it a go.  I spoke with Udler after watching the first IDS and he informed me that he felt the sequel was better than the original so that only fueled my desire to see the film.  So I took it down from the shelf and tossed it in.

     The film, once again, follows the incestuous siblings Amber and Jeb Wayne (Johnson and Wiese) as they prepare for a road trip to track down Aaron Burg (Lodewyck).  Aaron was able to escape from their biblical clutches.  He returned to the loving arms of the hotel owner and the two skipped town so the Wayne's could never find them.  However, Jeb is very resourceful (just like anyone with God on their side) and is able to track them down.  Amber, who is carrying his bastard child, could not wait until they reached him in person and gives him a call.  This, in turn, warns him of their approach forcing the hotel owner to pay her sleazy cousin to intercept them and kill them.  This doesn't happen and the Waynes are able to make it to Aaron where he does not play nice.

     What makes a sequel successful is realizing what aspects of the first film the fans liked and capitalizing on them.  Sadly, not every director is able to do that with their follow up film.  They ignore their fans and give them another film that lacks everything they want to see.  Udler heard the cries of his fans and followed Incest Death Squad up the way he saw fit to make the fans happy...and made one hell of a film.  The acting in this one is just as good, if not better, than the first film.  Though the release dates are only one year apart the entire cast showed a lot of growth between this film and the last.  Greg Johnson and Tom Lodewyck once again showed why Udler chose them to lead.  Also, I don't think it is possible but I do believe that Carmela Wiese and Melissa Murphy got hotter.  I would let both of them eat crackers in my bed!  The story is a great follow up to the first film.  It gives us more of the things we loved with the first films (religious rants and bloody deaths) while giving us a slightly different story that keeps us on our toes.  Kudos to Udler for that.  Finally,  the film has the same style bloody deaths as the first film.  Those that did not read my review for the first film may not know that this film is not a straight forward horror film.  Instead, it is an exploitation type film that just has dark elements.  Overall, Incest Death Squad 2 is a worthy follow up to the original IDS.  The film has all the bang the first film has and then some.  Check it out!
