Really ambitious for a dumb '90s horror sequel. Perhaps a little too ambitious for its own good.

Perhaps a little too ambitious for its own good. Its attempts at family drama, giving an explanation for "He Who Walks Behind the Rows," establishing continuity with the first film, and providing intelligent commentary on religion all feel half-baked. Coming off as underdeveloped as the characters they tried (and failed) so hard to give depth. For a movie with so much plot it weirdly feels like it has very little.

As a cheesy story about an estranged (and pretty obnoxious) father and son duo who go to a small town, see some strange crap, and walk away with the two hottest women it succeeds marvelously. Mostly because the kills are so ridiculous.

A woman gets smashed under a house in an obvious Wizard of Oz reference, an old lady gets launched through a window by a semi truck, and a cornstalk manages to magically fly though a windshield and impale a guy in his throat. The whole thing plays out much more like a goofy, Friday the 13th style slasher flick than its predecessor did. Some of the humor is even intentional.

While nowhere near as serious as I think it believes itself to be, The Final Sacrifice is still a lot of dumb fun. Also kudos Ryan Bollman. Some might say he was overacting or whatever, but I thought he was downright incredible. The perfect Isaac replacement.… Expand
