Jeremy ThomasMore unfocused and with a weaker narrative than the first entry, though this makes up for most of that with more creepy moments. My ★★½ review of Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva (2023) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/4bzpo9 #HorrorInTheHighDesert #Horror #Letterboxd
A ★★½ review of Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva (2023)
I know this isn't most people's experience with this, but Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva didn't work as well to me as the original. There are certainly positives here; the running time is tighter and the creepy moments are more evenly balanced rather than just being at the end, and the performances are better overall. It's nice to see Suziey Block back as reporter Gal Roberts as well, providing at least some link between this and the first film beyond the setting and some vague elements. The bigger problem to me is that the storyline isn't as focused.
