Decoys The Second Seduction

When I
saw the trailer for the first Decoys,
I laughed, never saw the final release and quickly forgot about it. Remarkably, Decoys The Second Seduction is a sequel that still got made and
oh, is it bad!
This very
Species-like franchise (already
removed at least one original idea away from the Alien franchise, all on this site) involves several sexy young
ladies who turn out to be succubus-like alien killers on campuses, parties or
anywhere else teens have sex. Well, they
dont have it for long when they turn up dead.
Too bad the script is dead-on-arrival.
Boasting
Tobin Bell from the silly Saw
trilogy (see Blu-rays on this site) does not save this from being a dud and I
cannot imagine the first effort being good enough top justify this mess. The acting is bad, dialogue beyond idiotic
and visual effects so bad that Nintendo 64 looks state of the art.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.85 X 1 (this got a theatrical release?) image is
poor, has Video Black issues and limited detail. John Spooner, C.S.C., gives this the same
tired Canadian Horror Genre look X-Files
originated and played out halfway through its run. Yawn.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 is not that well recorded, dialogue is usually
clear, but the surrounds are very lacking.
There are no extras, which is also no surprise.
