Okay, so let me just say. If you know anything about writer/director David A. Prior, then you know exactly what you're getting into when you sit down to watch one of his films. He is one of those filmmakers that seems to deliver ultra-low-budget trash, but in such a charming and entertaining way that most of the ones I've seen from him ultimately become So Bad, It's Good cult classics, with Killer Workout and the original Deadly Prey being his crowning achievements. I love Deadly Prey. It's one of those films that just gets everything right in an entertainingly bad movie, and though it's been 27 years, his follow- up sequel does not disappoint.
First off, not only does original writer/director Prior return, but most of the original cast does as well, which surprised the hell out of me. Not only that, it seems that decades experience has not helped Prior become a better filmmaker, and thank the heavens for that! This sequel, which "kind of" plays out like a near identical remake of the original, but also as it's own thing entirely in a weird way, delivers the goods just as well as the first one did. I honestly didn't think that was possible, but let me tell you, it does. It just hits all the right notes for a So Bad, It's Good low- budget action flick. There is so much to laugh at, and so many WTF? moments that you will no doubt be highly entertained from beginning to end.
