6/10
Better sequel than deserves credit with
14 June 2014
After getting pulled into a convoy along the Mexican Revolution, a group of travelers find their cantina hideout populated by vampires that are interested in one of the party's members, forcing them to fight back before they succumb to the creatures.

This didn't turn out to be nearly as much fun as it's predecessor, but it still has some great things going for it. Frankly, this is due mainly to the fact that this one has far too much time spent with it's Old-West rip-offs feeling like a Spaghetti Western imitation in the first half to the complete and total elimination of any horror elements. Even upon arriving at the cantina, which is just under an hour into the movie itself, it's still a bit before they reveal themselves as vampires despite us knowing something's going on. The film is a lot better when that happens due to a lot of wild action, tons of bloodletting and just a lot of fun, featuring some cool make-up effects that give off a great vibe about the situation and plenty of storyline motivation beyond just a never-ending stream of attacks. It manages to save the film somewhat, but it's still not enough to overcome the boredom in the beginning.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.
