Soon, Sugar and Dex are drawn into a coven of the wicked creatures that are using a local strip club as cover. Will our heroes be victorious? Or will they succumb to the vile allure of this new strain of "decadent evil?" - synopsis provided by the distributor

Summary:

Charles Band, the man behind Full Moon, wrote and directed Decadent Evil 2. Other notable films he directed are Parasite, Trancers, Crash and Burn, and Meridian.

A vampire and her mortal lover try to repay Ivan, a vampire hunter who died saving their life. They search for a master vampire whose blood can revive Ivan.

While Decadent Evil 2 is a continuation of Decadent Evil, there are many moments where you will experience déjà vu. Not only are a strip club and exotic vampire dancers used again, but the narrative also unfolds in a similar way, making it easy to see where things are going. That said, despite being a sequel, Decadent Evil 2 feels like a redo of its predecessor.

The real star of Decadent Evil 2 is the practical special effects, notably, a puppet master-like creature called a homunculus. Where he spent most of the previous film locked in a cage, this time he’s allowed to roam more freely. When it comes to pacing, the narrative does not flow as well as its predecessor. On a more positive side, the enthusiastic performances make things more enjoyable by selling the outlandish premise. Ultimately, Decadent Evil 2 feels like a step backwards that gets further undermined by its predictability.

Full Moon Features gives Decadent Evil 2 its best home media release to date.
