Xtro 2: The Second Encounter
What we have here is a movie that was
filmed in Canada, financed by Britain, and based in the US. It takes
place in a soooper secret underground facility that's working on
inter-dimensional travel. Three poor souls dressed in Vader-like
outfits are sent through the portal and then things go wrong. Only
one comes back and she's brought a friend hiding in her
abdomen--->and it likes to eat people! In the meantime, the only
person in the world that can help is Jan Michael Vincent. His
back-story is that he was one of the first to go through the portal
in a Texas facility, and upon coming back, blew up the facility in
order to kill the monster that followed him back through the portal.
Picking apart this film is too easy,
though I'd like to point out that when the monster first bursts out
of her chest, nobody uses gloves or hazmat suits when examining her,
the room she's in, the trail of material the creature left
behind....touch everything, don't use gloves, freely breath in the
air . Again...microbiology safeguards are completely ignored.
Really, this has nothing to do with the
first movie. It's a sequel in name only and the monster doesn't even
look like the creature from the original. The acting is f-ing
terrible and I'm betting the auditions were done on a Sunday morning.
The story is just a weak Doom-faclity run through typical of a '90s
low budget film. This is what you get when Jan Michael Vincent is
your star. It's bad enough, that nobody wants to do a proper
Wikipedia entry. I can't blame them. I'll most likely forget I ever
saw this film.
Oh, one last note: At no point is the name or word "Xtro" used in either of the films. There's a 3rd, but I'm not touching that this year.
Monday: His name is Milo, and he's baaaaad.
