The Mutilator is one of my favorite, cheesy 80s slasher movies.\u00a0 The bad acting and crazy gore is so much fun.\u00a0 Also the theme song<\/a> is so much an 80s sitcom theme that it gets stuck in your head and feels really out of place.\u00a0 All of those things make The Mutilator a cult favorite.\u00a0 You should totally watch it!\u00a0 Thanks for reading my review of this fun standalone slasher from the 80s treasure chest.\u00a0 What\u2019s that?\u00a0 There\u2019s a Mutilator 2?!\u00a0 How did I not know this?\u00a0 Was it made straight to video at the end of the 80s?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 It was made in 2023?!\u00a0 Ugh, son of a bitch.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Mutilator 2 revolves around a film crew making a remake to the Mutilator, and the cast from the first movie is invited to the premier and to see some of the process in making the remake.\u00a0 Yeah, its meta!\u00a0 Yeah they made a sequel to the Mutilator that claims the original was just a movie and this is the real world.\u00a0 If it sounds stupid, that\u2019s because it is.\u00a0 Dear lord!\u00a0 I hate myself for watching this!\u00a0 I heard they were announcing this movie, but didn\u2019t know it was available until now.\u00a0 I had to shell out a few bucks to watch this thing on Amazon Prime, I want a refund.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The acting is bad.\u00a0 Sure the acting was bad in the first one, but it was inadvertently bad.\u00a0 That\u2019s what makes a bad movie, great.\u00a0 Take movies like Troll 2, Miami Connection, and Deadly Prey.\u00a0 They are all arguably horrible movies, but the complete ineptitude of them is charming.\u00a0 Hell, The Room is a prime example.\u00a0 The Room fails to be coherent, the main character doesn\u2019t seem human, the story is nonsensical but man is it entertaining.\u00a0 The Mutilator 2 seems like it is trying to be bad, like a failed attempt to catch lightning in a bottle twice.\u00a0 The kills are good, I will give it that, but kills can only take you so far.\u00a0 The meta aspect was just kind of dumb.\u00a0 I realize wanting to bring back the original cast, and this was probably the only way.\u00a0 I would have much rather had them play different characters as cameos or something.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There are so many legacy sequels coming out as of late.\u00a0 Halloween 2018 kind of started the trend and I\u2019m not sure it was such a good thing.\u00a0 While that movie was pretty decent and done with love, these other sequels seem to be missing the point.\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to hate Mutilator 2 for having such a low budget look, because the original did.\u00a0 I realize this was just kind of a passion project for Buddy Cooper.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t think this movie needed to exist.\u00a0 Was anyone clamoring for it?\u00a0 Not really.\u00a0 I think most people in the horror community were shocked and fearful that it would end up like this did.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I suppose if you\u2019re the biggest die hard fan of The Mutilator, you are probably Buddy Cooper.\u00a0 I mean this movie acts like the first one was groundbreaking when it was a blip on the slasher radar back in the day.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t really recommend this to anyone.\u00a0 I like the original, but this one misses the mark big time.\u00a0 I give this a D-, and the only reason it isn\u2019t an F was because of the kills.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
