Blood Angel II...is what it is...and in all honesty how you respond to it will be based on how you responded to I Spit on Your Grave...a link the movie makes obvious it is taking from. If you hated I Spit on Your Grave...You will hate this movie...If you loved I Spit on Your Grave...there's a 50/50 chance of you liking this and that depends on why you liked I Spit on Your Grave. If you liked the brutality and the dirtiness of the film...if you like feeling like a bad person for watching rape and murder...then you might be into this...the only problem is that unlike I spit on Your Grave, Blood Angel pulls its punches...The rape scene is dull and boring and looks more like a mosh pit...the nudity and realism of I Spit on Your Grave is greatly reduced making the scene less horrific and blunting the impact...the revenge scenes are the same...while over the top and gorier than I Spit on Your Grave, it takes away from the feel of real revenge and has the film come across as silly and playful...again not bad if that is your thing. however if you loved I spit on your grave for the aesthetic appeal, symbolism, and underlying feminist drive...a movie about redemption and reclaiming what was taken...you'll hate Blood Angel. There is no aesthetic value...it was shot in the woods on DV and instead of capturing the natural beauty and contrasting it with the ugliness of men like I spit on your Grave...Blood Angel seems to only use the location because of it's connection to I Spit on Your Grave and does little with it to drive the meaning of the film. There is no underlying drive or motivation...it's oh I got raped...I live at home...I watch TV...I saw I spit On Your Grave...Lets kill the men... It skips over the emotional turmoil of the trauma captured by the original. All In all though it is not a bad effort; its just if you are going to try and copy something...one up it...one up it because you saw something the original missed or you have a new angle on it...don't copy for the sake of copying...If it wasn't for I spit on your grave this would have been an great independent/low budget picture...but it does nothing new and loses any artistic value that is seen in these types of films.
