A slow-moving, silent masked killer walks around slashing people up while a bunch of incompetent armed police and others try to stop him.
Sound familiar? Halloween? Friday The 13th? Yeah, you've seen this all before.
The original Hayride from 2012 tells the tale of a backwoods town that has the urban myth of a killer called Pitchfork - an escaped maniac embodies the legend and goes round slashing and gouging as much as he can.
Hayride 2 picks up directly where the first left us, the presumed dead body of Pitchfork is being sped away in an ambulance but, guess what, he's not dead! For some reason that eludes logic the ambulance staff haven't even removed his mask and off he goes, slash, stab etc.
Local authorities try and stop him but as in most of these films a simple man holding a knife is a scary and unstoppable force that is impervious to bullets.
This film tries to mature and develop the characters but fails, we don't need to see the back story or the relationship between these people that quite simply we can't wait to see hacked to bits.
An unoriginal slasher flick that really doesn't justify being made. Quite simply, not enough gore, a bad plot, bad acting and we've seen it all before but done better.
