Description: “Don’t Fuck in the Woods 2” picks up where the 2016 original left off, immediately setting a gruesome tone to remind viewers they’re in for a horror experience. However, the first half of the film leans more toward an 80s-style teen comedy, filled with awkward jokes and frequent scenes of characters shedding their clothes. Directed by Shawn Burkett and co-written by Cheyenne Gordon, the story follows a group of young adults preparing to work as counselors at Pine Hill Camp. Among them are Tasha, Will, and Mason, played by Kenzie Phillips, Jason Crowe, and Mark Justice, respectively.
The opening 40 minutes focus on the counselors’ pre-camp antics, including plenty of casual nudity and sexual encounters, catering to a more immature audience. Julie Anne Prescott even appears solely for a girl-on-girl scene. While the film briefly hints at its horror roots with a parasite attack on a couple in a tent, it doesn’t fully embrace the genre until Brittany Blanton’s character, Jane, the survivor from the first film, arrives at the camp in a state of panic.
As the story shifts toward horror, the infected mutate into bloodthirsty creatures with razor-sharp teeth, ramping up the gore and intensity. Though the film lacks true scares, it delivers a energetic and bloody spectacle in its latter half. “Don’t Fuck in the Woods 2” balances its campy humor with over-the-top horror, making it a niche choice for fans of both genres.
