Total Terror 2: Brush With Death / Harvest of Fear

[OrlandoEastwood]

I picked up both volumes for $11 total off of eBay. Has anyone seen this release?

Given the review of Vol. 1 here on the site, you might have spent $11 too much.

LOL, given I got it around the Amazon price without the shipping is why I got them. If I got both for $6 each plus shipping, I'd have passed. But, I am a fan of bad movies. So, four films for $11 is ok in my opinion.

If the first volume review is any indication, this will be another insult to the format.

I saw each of these volumes for $6 at FYE this summer I think

Ok... where should I start? Should I even call A Brush With Death a movie? I know in the other thread for Total Terror Vol 1 that I bashed the hell out of Demonic, but I admit, I was wrong. Uninvited had my hopes up for Total Terror Vol 2. I am going to give A Brush With Death 0 out of 10. This film was an insult to my intelligence and I've never really been the one to call a movie THE WORST FILM EVER, but for me, this is it.

This is the bottom of the barrel and you can't go any lower. Manos: The Hands of Fate is a masterpiece in comparison to A Brush With Death. This film starts out with a bunch of girls going to one of their uncle's house. On the way, their Jeep breaks down and they are given help by a shop owner and his mentally handicapped assistant. We then see through flashbacks that these are psychotic killers.

Then, we start having flashbacks to the 1950's to some unrelated s**t that doesn't make itself clear until the last act of the film. This movie is all over the place and it doesn't even make sense. I'm getting ready to go to spoiler city here;

[Show spoiler]with these flashbacks, I thought we were seeing the childhood of the shop owner. But then at the half-way mark, he get's f**king killed off.

It's like;

[Show spoiler]who is the antagonist of the film? You don't go parading around this perverted shop owner who's killing people and then just off him midway through the flick.

That's poor f**king writing. Speaking of writing, WAS THERE EVEN A F**KING SCRIPT? I KNOW I QUESTIONED THIS ON DEMONIC, BUT REALLY?

The shots, the way they are composed are f**king poor. It's like halfway through the film, they just got lazy and mounted the cameras on the ceiling and just filmed them walking around the rooms. And the acting is poor as hell too. I give this film a 0 out of 10. If I could go lower, I would. I SO F**KING WOULD. I REALLY HATED THIS MOVIE!!!

Video: Video quality is a 2/5. Some spots it looks ok, other it looks poor. Like they shot the film on both SD and HD. Especially in the last half, it looks SD.

Audio: 1/5. The audio is uneven. It's all over the place and the music is loud as hell.

I bought this at Dollar Tree for a dollar. After seeing this post I'm starting to think I overpaid
