Having just watched this and last night the first film, I'm beyond baffled by the recent positive reviews and can only speculate who made those. This film is dull and a total duff, just like the first one.

I've seen loads of horror films with bad reviews which I often think are undeserved, but this has made more annoyed by the bizarre positive reviews, especially those mentioning particular crew members (who on earth ever mentions the casting director? Seriously?). My standard for horror films is low, I like low budget indie films, but NOT when the reviews look blatantly not genuine. An OK film for found footage fanatics like myself.

Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva is a solid sequel. The film is truly terrifying. It is kind of a "found footage" film, in the vein of The Blair Witch project, at at times it is just as scary as that movie...if not even scarier and more horrifying. The interviews mixed in with the found footage gave the film an authentic quality and really keeps the viewer glued to the screen. This film really gets under your skin. I thought the tone and mood of the movie was really excellent in that it was very consistent in giving you a feeling of dread, suspense, and also downright terror. Watch this movie.

Decided to write this because I saw part one of this fine little found footage horror movie and immediately rented the sequel without much expectation but I am pleasantly surprised. It's creepy, keeps you watching and expecting what would happen on the edge of your seat. Smartly made and it gives you just enough creepy dread horror bit by bit to keep you interested and scared. Yes, scared. I don't get scared watching 99% of horror movies but this one had me anxious and not wanting to see what comes out of the shadow of the infrared camera - because I was just plain scared. It leaves room for another sequel so hoping for the same soon. Good job.
