Now that is what I call lazy story telling
16 March 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I haven't seen the first part of this movie which I guess is glanced upon in the back story of the main character Nina here. Anyway, there is nothing that closely connects the plot to the title because no one dies in 3 days except for the viewer to whom the movie feels to drag on for that eternity.

"Dead in 3 days Part 2" is a real bad case of lazy story telling. Main character Nina was in some psycho-killer action which got most of her friends killed (I guess thats part 1 right there). Now that the killer was found dead she is haunted by visions of her friend Mona who suffered through the experience with her. We never really know why Nina decides to go look for her friend Mona except for some random lame ghost flashbacks and imaginary cellphone calls but she leaves home to look for Mona just to stumble into her strange family who happen to be a bunch of psychotics themselves.

Now if that is not stupid enough she meets the girl who helps the psychos right on the bus to Monas hometown and then stumbles into her again to be invited for a sleepover with more random flashbacks. We never learn why she has blood on her hands when she awakes just as we never learn why the suddenly appearing cop (whos sole purpose is saving Nina from being shot or freezing to death although he was either captured or beaten senseless minutes before) seems so fond of following her from Vienna up to some damned mountain town.

Up to here the movie seemed endless already because the storytelling is unbelievably slow and random. Since the movie is even 110minutes long that was just half of it because now Nina walks up to the mountain house of the psychos on her own (although being warned by the sleepover girl and blood on the floor of Monas house) to end up in a messed up family covering up for their sexual pervert son who seems to have killed some girls.

Spoiler Alert.... little Nina takes them out one after another since most of them are obviously idiots who seem to be asking for it. There is some rough head bashing and neck stabbing with a lot of nothing happening in between and when everybody's dead not only sleepover girl crashes into a deer and dies but also an incredibly stupid twist reveals that Mona was dead from the beginning. Its a joke that someone made this random script into a movie and then even decided on stretching the non existent plot to 110 painfully slow minutes. While technically the movie was OK I felt that several effect scenes with subjective steady cams and long crane shots felt totally out of place and like they did it just for the fun of it. Total waste of time and money!
