The new gay on the block Eli, kind of accidentally rents himself Corin & Jake’s old apartment. He interviews with Judith (Elliot’s mom) and somehow starts getting injected into Eliott’s life. Judith’s negative attitude toward her son's sexuality in the first film was a chief ingredient to the tragedy that ensued. Enter an old man, George, who is introduced as Eli’s father, starts dating Corin’s former co-worker Nancy. But something doesn’t feel right. Neither father-son relationship and nothing else. When murders start happening, it is soon revealed that George is actually Eliott’s father, Judith’s ex-husband who had left family years ago when he had come out. Eli was just his sugar baby who he was paying.
October Moon was one of the better low-budget films I've watched, with a decent plot, locations, and acting. This sequel, however, just wanders about till the very end when something meaningful happens.It is more like a B-grade horror movie with an unrealistic plot, and terrible acting and direction. I feel so robbed of my precious 90ish minutes that even writing this review seems a task now. It's one of those dreary productions which is all talk with no 'meat' to the story and not even decent horror to talk about.
This one is totally avoidable even if you thought the prequel was a decent film, which it was. (2.5/10)
