The Wrath of Becky continues a solid trend of practical special effect kills, but still tends to be lacking in every other aspect. The sequel isn’t as funny as the filmmakers are wanting it to be and the villains are becoming forgettable cannon fodder that are nothing more than meat bags filled with a fun, red juice Becky is going to paint the walls with. Perhaps most incriminating of all is that The Wrath of Becky and the Becky films as a franchise has a ton of potential that the films simply have yet to tap into.

I have no objection to the occasional campy, horror flick but this felt like bad satire of bad satire (if that makes sense). Abrasive, woke cretin Becky, is a super duper fem action hero. She's such a hero she unnecessarily provokes bad guys, leading to her elderly care giver being killed and her dog beaten and abducted. Unsurprisingly, Becky comes for her dog and revenge. Revenge that' hardly imaginative or even overly convincing, on any level. In short, its low brow stuff, that's only alleviated by Sean William Scott's at times drily amusing performance, as lead baddie. Sadly, that's nowhere near enough to make up for the painfully bad script generally ghastly, characterisations and brain dead violence. In summary, basic in most regards. I suspect it might appeal to a marginal demographic, of resentful teenage girls, with low expectations entertainment wise, but beyond that.....??

The Wrath of Becky is a surprisingly solid follow-up to the first movie. It builds on the campy revenge vibe but adds a bit more depth to Becky’s character while still keeping things fun and action-packed. I went in with low expectations and came out impressed, it’s better than I thought it would be. Lulu Wilson absolutely owns the role, and I’d gladly watch her in future sequels if they keep this series going. The movie has enough twists and wild moments to keep you entertained, and it does justice to the first film while still feeling fresh. A decent and enjoyable sequel for sure.
