Collinsville Too, a review by addicted2dvd

Collinsville Too
One year following the horrific slaughter in a small Connecticut town, the killing spree continues, and the people of Collinsville are terrified when the body count begins to rise.

My Thoughts:
OMG! What a disappointing piece of unwatchable crap! This is one that is a complete snooze-fest! The acting was unbearable... the dialog was actually painful to listen to... and the story itself was an unforgivable mess! I will definitely watch the first one again... but this one will not be placed into my dvd player ever again! Stay Away.... Stay Far Away!

I just came back from the midnight showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture" show. There is a cinema in Munich, which has been showing this movie each week for decades, including audience participation.
I had already planned to watch this movie for this marathon. And when a friend proposed to watch this movie in the cinema, I immediately agreed. The idea originally came at the Oktoberfest, after the band had played "Time Warp".

I didn't really know what to expect of this cinema visit. I almost feared that we would be the only one not dressing up. But there wasn't anyone who did. I also expected that there will be maybe ten people or so. After all, the movie has been playing there forever. I was really surprised, that the cinema (which is a small one - holding around 60 seats) was packed to the last seat.

This movie is one of my all-time favorite musicals even if it is a little ourageous. The B-movie parody style makes this movie time-less.
I never get tired hearing the movie's soundtrack. I first came to attention of this musical, because of my mother. She is a big fan of it and had urged me to watch it. I first saw it when I was about 12 and even then I enjoyed the music.

When I had first seen this episode, I was a little pissed off at it. It may be because I am not American and find it sometimes offensive how they are pushing religions. Or at least how the media portrays it.
In this episode Kurt's father has an heart attack. And everyone just came up to Kurt wanting to pray and pushing religions. When he said he doesn't believe in god and they should stop pushing it, I cheered for him.
I liked his "I appreciate your thoughts. But I don't want your prayers."

But one visit to a church with the stereotypical big black girl who is singing in a gospel choir in a church, he suddenly has a change of heart and is more welcoming of the prayers.
Also the reactions of the others, when he told them that he doesn't believe in god was like "Wait! What?!"
Is it really that bad in the US, or at least in the bible belt? The show plays in Ohio.

Finncompetent:
Finn starts praying to a grilled cheese sandwhich after the burn marks look like Jesus to him. At the end of the episode he lost faith and starts eating the some days old sandwich.

Notable music:
I really liked Kurt singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand":

Loosing My Religion. Sung by Finn. It was one of his better songs.

"One of Us". I always liked this song and also this version is nice listening to.
