2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010)
When this year's round of unsuspecting Northerners fail to show up for their annual Guts N' Glory Jamboree, the residents of Pleasant Valley take their cannibalistic carnival on the road and head to Iowa where they encounter spoiled heiresses Rome & Tina Sheraton and the cast and crew of their "Road Rascals" reality show. Performing "The Bloodiest Show on Earth", our Southern Maniacs prove more than ratings killers in what John Landis has called "one of the rare sequels that surpasses the original".

What a beautiful movie!
Better Late Then Never
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Look, I LOVE bad horror movies, but this was just bad in the regular connotation. This looked interesting (ie Bill Moseley, Ogre) but it was a pile of crap. The gore was uninteresting, the plotline wasn't even funny enough to be funny. I wish I got my time back from watching this, seriously.
While I liked the 2005 remake, 2001 Maniacs mainly because of Robert Englund. This one should have never been made.Acting: The acting was terrible and not even a good actress like Lin Shaye could save it. Perhaps if Robert Englund had returned it would have been watchable. The writing: It was badly written and how did they get a school bus and where did they learn to drive? Overall: I hated it and I'd advise anyone wanting to watch it to skip it and find something to watch. Other things wrong with it: The nudity was too much and at times unnecessary, the plot was predictable and ended basically the same way the first one did and it was boring
If only ten people attend to a screening, that does not necessarily mean, you will be watching a bad movie at the cinema. In this case, unfortunately it was exactly what we were in for. Although this movie tries so hard to be funny and not be taken seriously (and has a scene or two that might get you to chuckle for a second), it never really reaches any comedy heights.Actually it seems never to really take off at any moment. It's a shame, because Tim Sullivan seems like a very likable guy and someone who really has fun directing. And also has a way at cons or festivals. If only he could have translated that onto the screen or half of it, it would have been an entirely different beast altogether. He didn't and we don't even get mediocre with this movie ... Avoid (unless you have friends over and want to have a laugh ... for all the wrong reasons)
"2001 Maniacs" (2005) was a great horror movie with an excellent balance between gore and comedy. It also had horror icon Robert Englund (Freddy from Nightmare On Elm Street). Englund did not return for this direct-to-DVD sequel. Instead we get Bill Moseley who I absolutely loved in "Devil's Rejects". He seems to be the only one who actually took acting lessons in the past. The rest of the cast is rather terrible; the characters are annoying and not convincing in any way. But the bad news does not stop here: the sound is terrible and seems to be dubbed later on. The story is dull with really only one cheap location for the entire story. So what about the gore ? There were some great kills in the original one, but here it's not that great with some unconvincing special effects. Instead we get lots of boobs but that can't save the day.. A disappointment for horror fans and fans of the original movie. Only worth watching for hardcore fans; 1 or 2 deaths which are okay, but overall it's unconvincing and really cheap. A total lack of thrills, entertainment and even good production values. 4 out of 10 because of 2 gory deaths which were just OK.
