Again, appearing to pick up where the original movie left off, the survivors of a massacre involving a fat, masked hillbilly with Ku Klux Klan ties, named Pitchfork, are in the hospital being treated for injuries sustained. Pitchfork breaks out of his ambulance with his sights set on getting to the hospital to finish these punks off while, in the meantime, a detective is attempting to dig up some back story on the redneck killer...
Seriously standard slasher formula, here. Actually, the beginning shows a bit of re-cap from the previous installment, which looked quite a bit better in comparison to what I ended up watching. Looked like some decent kills and Pitchfork running around, hacking people up with a chainsaw. Where was the chainsaw in THIS one? Not only is there a no chainsaw, but the majority of the deaths are off-screen, save for a few fairly bloody pitchforkings. The rest of the time characters are sitting around a hospital waiting room, reminiscing about shit and showing boring flashbacks while sappy music plays. The thing was just too heavy on filler and needless character development, considering it's a sequel... to a SLASHER movie.
Can't say I'm tripping over myself to check out the first "Hayride" flick. Should've probably checked that one out first, but circumstances landed the second one in my lap first, so that's that. Pretty weak slasher joint, overall, with a typical looking killer, dull characters/dialog, light on gore and just too conventional. Don't waste your time.
