Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight 2 (2021) User Reviews

They ruined a potential franchise

[arrmeen · 5/10 · 31 October 2021]

The first movie was really good, decent story, good thrills, some good gore and blood. This one starts well, but suddenly goes into sci Fi territory, why? The comedy wasn't good either, except for a few decent gore scenes this movie literally bored me.

I don't understand why they completely changed the storyline from a good slasher in the first almost Wrong Turn type, to a dull and boring second.

Just 5 stars for this.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT compared to the first film!!

[JJett131313 · 3/10 · 28 October 2021]

I very much liked the 1st film. It had a really cool/likable lead female protagonist as well as having several very likable characters. It was genuinely sad when some of them died. The 1st film also had some good gore/blood & good cinematography.

This sequel COMPLETELY ruins the 1st film's female protagonist and makes the villain(s) from the 1st film barely background noise. Yes, this sequel has good gore/blood and the cinematography is once again pretty good but the storyline is a bit of a middle finger to those who (like me) liked the first film.

This sequel also has NO characters that are actually likable/sympathetic. I thought the lead young cop character "Adas" would be that likable character that i would root for but he was mostly whiny for much of the movie (i admit still have about 20 minutes left to the film).

I definitely recommend the first film but i do not recommend this sequel.

WTF

[Calicodreamin · 3/10 · 27 October 2021]

One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. Aliens, gore, and it kind of tries to be a comedy? The make-up and effects looked authentic. But the storyline is just bizarre.

Why?

[PedroPires90 · 2/10 · 8 December 2021]

I really like the first film. This is a totally waste of time.

I don't get why a lot of horror directors think their sequels have to be comedy-horror.

omg

[trashgang · 3/10 · 24 November 2021]

As much as I liked the first one as much I hated this one. This is utterly trash. Only to watch for the gore and let me say, ultragore.

It started really well and looked fine but after 15 minutes it becomes boring and slow. The further it goes it becomes ridiculous.

Gorehounds will love it, but you have to sit through 1h43 minutes of a really really bad flick.

Gore 5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 5/5 Story 0/5 Comedy 0/5.

WTF?

[gpxdlr · 1/10 · 8 November 2021]

What a waste of money! Should have spent the money on a food bank in a city in Poland. No reason for this film to have been made. Shame if the producers.

Terrible sequel that nobody asked for.

[tstudstrup · 1/10 · 9 November 2021]

I loved the first movie, as can be seen in my review of it.. Since it was such a big hit, a completely unnecessary sequel was made by the writer and director of the original. Just one year after the first movie.

But this sequel is just too weird for its own good. And it shouldn't have been made.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The suirvivor of the first movie is back (as it is standard formula in horror movies) but I don't like what they do with her character in this movie. The new lead is likeable, but I don't like what they do with his character either. A better script, might have saved this movie, from being completely forgettable.

Just avoid this. I will try to erase this sequel from my mind and just remember the first movie.

Oh and a third movie is definetly in the works. It will most likely be terrible.

The one star goes to the special effects, which are as good as in the original.

Say what?!

[Stanlee107 · 4/10 · 7 November 2021]

This started out as a nice continuation of the franchise but went so left field I don't agree with the direction it went. The woods scenes are minimal and the meta move to gain insight into the monsters did not enhance it. I was left confused and I know it is a dark comedy but even I did not buy it.

More wood ... I mean mayhem

[kosmasp · 6/10 · 29 October 2021]

Puns aside, I have to admit I never thought there would be a sequel to the first movie. But now I can imagine there being a third one - everything is possible. Now before I delve into the "story", let's say one thing that every slasher fan is actually looking for in horror movies like this one: this is ultra violent and has a good mixture between practical and CG effects.

So if that floats your boat, you might as well give it a try. Having said that, the story itself ... well that is a different story, no pun intended. While the movie flows along nicely (with enough kills and suspense to keep you occupied), towards the end there seems to be a switch ... a change of lanes. That is something that viewers may find disturbing to say the least. The loveable (new) main characters change in a way - it's hard to really root for anyone in this ... so if you don't mind that and are in for the kills ... there are way worse movies out there.

WTF is this, do not watch this

[bartu99 · 1/10 · 3 November 2021]

I watched it, thinking about it could not be worse than the first one. I do not how they did it but the first one is perfect compared to this one. Why did they think giving us monster sex scene or unnecesarry romance or uncoherant script would be nice? Why? WHYYYYYY???!!!!

Beautiful, weird, gore and funny movie

[cristiananton-70070 · 8/10 · 28 October 2021]

One the Best horror movie seen this year. Much better than first, for sure.

I create an account on imdb just for rate and discuss about this movie, so you can imagine how much i liked it.

It's just weird, a bizarre film who succeed not to became stupid or pathetic, but a good, smart and funny horror tale.

Maybe a little too slow and perhaps the main character, the beginner officer, should be more charismatic.

Otherwise, it's a surprinsingly good movie, with a great music, very nice effects and a story developed in a way that make you understand you should not take this too serious. It's just a horror film. A very good one.

Surprisingly entertaining

[juanquaglia · 7/10 · 30 October 2021]

I didn't like the first film but for some reason went ahead and watched the sequel. I'm glad I did, because this film is much funnier and more original than its predecessor. Some scenes and choices truly surprised me, and it was refreshing considering nowadays everything seems to be a remake or tribute to something else. Still, it's a low-budget film, so don't have high expectations.

One of Netflix's worst movies

[kstice-25195 · 2/10 · 1 November 2021]

Even though I'm a horror fan, Netflix's horror movies are usually not the best movies on the streaming service. Like the first Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight, they are usually average or slightly above average. Unfortunately, this film failed to even meet those expectations. The film starts off poorly, with a scene that doesn't have much to do with anything. The viewer then meets the main characters, who are both unlikeable and unrealistic choices for police officers. Apparently, there are only three police officers in this town and they are an old and out of shape man, a young man with less courage than the Wizard of Oz lion, and a girl who looks like she should be in her freshman year of college. Other than the survivor from the first film, the only other characters we meet are an animal abuser, two annoying camp directors, and two neo-nazis. Overall, one of the most unlikeable casts possible. The plot appears to be written by a child, because it is equally as bad as the characters. Instead of scares and suspense, the movie chooses to make one failed joke after another. And as bad as the first half of movie is, the second half is significantly worse. The scenes that include dialogue between monsters are some of the worst scenes ever produced by Netflix. The only good thing I can say about this film is that some of the murders are pretty unique. I should have turned this film off in the first twenty minutes, but decided to keep watching since the first film was worth a view. Netflix is currently considering a third film in this series. I would strongly recommend that they scrap those plans and put those resources into a new series that could have more potential. 2/10

Pros and Cons Summary

+Some of the kills are pretty interesting

-None of the jokes are funny

-All characters are highly unlikeable

-Not scary

-All scenes that include dialogue between monsters are excruciatingly bad.

Loved the first one.

[janmanuel2 · 4/10 · 22 December 2021]

The first half of this started with promise. Then it went south. It got annoying. I liked some parts of the ending but I can't say this was a good sequel. If the second half continued like the first half I would have added a couple stars. Quirky is one thing. This just got boring and disappointing.

Horrible

[gianmarcoronconi · 1/10 · 30 October 2021]

This film is horrible, it is not funny and not even scary, all the gimmicks are trivial or grotesque but in the wrong way. The storyline is stupid and the holes and forcings are just too many to be tolerated. The only thing that is saved is the character of the young policeman, but he too is ruined at the end.

The only thing that was good about the first one they ruined

[eprusulis · 1/10 · 28 October 2021]

The only thing that was good about the first movie was actually that female hero was actually pretty good and believable and then they ruined it in the second one by making her the villain so I didn't even finish the second one cuz then you make to hear the hero of the second one of rookie cop that's a douche.

Skip this one

[trinnisia · 1/10 · 28 October 2021]

I liked the first movie. I would say it was cute, nothing special but very nice watch on a weekend. Unfortunately the sequel that takes place just after the first one is just a mistake.

It's less dynamic and it's quite sad - the producers probably hoped it will be succesfull but it just doesn't work for me.

And I'm sad because I'm Polish and I would love to see more Polish movies to be hits around the world. Oh well.

If you enjoyed the first movie- I can recommend 'All my friends are dead'- also Polish comedy horror available on Netflix.

Don't waste your time.

[kjjames81 · 1/10 · 31 October 2021]

OMG, what a waste if time, sorry I can't give this movie anymore than a one star rating, my question is, where did it all go wrong?

Okay the first one was not a great movie but it was enjoyable if you like that sort if thing. Now I like slasher style movies and the first one didn't disappoint so when I saw the second one on Netflix I dived into watching it.

Boy was I sorry, firstly they film makers changed a straight horror into a comedy one, why? Okay the first one had unintentional humour which happens to most horror films but when the humour is done on purpose it can work or nit and this one Didn't.

Next it was the story, okay it can be quite difficult to keep a movie going by but adding in, I am not going to give anything away but this time it didn't work. Keep the same story but add to it with something that makes sense.

I can see a third one being made and if it does I am hoping the film makers will revert back to the original one.

All in all don't waste your time.

Weird

[payasoingenioso · 7/10 · 27 October 2021]

The plot is fathomable, even artistic. The gore is in excess, and I am here for it.

However, in Act II or III, it gets fundamentally weird. Without giving anything away, I did not sign up for that extended and awkward character development.

Still, the film is decent, and the end gives me enough closure.

It's seriously bad

[katari24 · 1/10 · 29 October 2021]

Such a shame because the first one was pretty good.. This? ... Not only is seriously bad.. It's seriously bad and very very long. Bad and long is the worst combination ever possible.

haters gonna hate

[trrkovac · 10/10 · 30 October 2021]

This movie is werid and original - and gory. It's a 7.5 out of 10 for me but seeing such low ratings I'm giving it a 10.

It's a fresh approach to slashers, I would have never expected where the plot is going to take me.

Special make-up is and praticals are solid. Soundtrack is a plus as well.

Had a lot of fun on this one and was trully surprised half way through the film when the twist happens.

Quirky horror comedy

[Horror_Flick_Fanatic · 6/10 · 28 October 2021]

Likable Quirky horror comedy and monster love story. The film never takes itself too seriously. It starts out with a young kid wanting to make his mark in the world and looking for love. But life has some twist and turns he didn't expect.

I am so disappointed

[marinaant-36217 · 2/10 · 30 October 2021]

The first one was really good but this one is pretty unwatchable, I was so excited to watch this since I really liked the first one but I ended up losing 1h and 43 minutes of my life it was just so bad the only good thing about it was the gore nothing else.

So bad I had to stop to write this review

[sara-priscila3 · 2/10 · 1 November 2021]

The first movie was not great but it was more interesting. With this second movie it's like someone other than the actual producer wrote this in one night just because... Yes, it is that bad. Nothing makes sense, the weird creatures have sex, lots of people die in stupid ways and WORST they are not done with it.

First part was atleast good

[riturajsaikia-87363 · 1/10 · 28 October 2021]

This One right here Its a disgusting movie I have ever watched..poor acting,poor dialogue..Nothing horror its look a comedy movie. I dont understand why they make a stupid movie like this..To make fun of themselves??
