Very well executed
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Dreadfully Boring
A Masterpiece!
David DeCoteau's second film in the lengthy BROTHERHOOD series is a marginal improvement on the first, but that's really not saying much. Once again the story sees a bunch of high school students - who are in reality warlocks - attempting to introduce new members into their group. Inevitably some of the evil characters are murderous and go around bumping off peripheral characters until the good guys step up to do something about them.It seems that the budget for THE BROTHERHOOD 2: YOUNG WARLOCKS was slightly improved over the first, as the production values are slightly stronger. Unfortunately, there are even MORE endless scenes of young muscle guys parading around in their underwear here, as well as a three-way sex scene between two guys and a girl (what else?) which seems to last a lifetime. The whole thing is poorly acted and silly, just an excuse for the director to appeal to gay men who also have a tolerance for Z-grade produce.
Before we go any further, I must claim; `The Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' isn't really a sequel, but a follow up from the original. If the first one tells about a male vampire attempt to find his followers among some hunky males, so the second one tells about a male witch attempt to find his followers among some hunky males!That's right, `The Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' is barely having any plot at all. It just illustrates a bunch of males in their underwear and does some lame acting. Even there's a gorgeous girl there, but the actual eroticisms are happening among these guys, and I must admit the male actors are `act so good' in their erotic scenes.`Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' is a so-called horror movies and the thrill is only adhere. There's no gruesome gore, cutting-edge FX, or twisted plot. The horror tensions build by it themes and some PG-13 violence. The main issue here is the guys in their underwear (!) and the homoeroticism theme it has. These aren't strange because the director, David DeCoteau is well-known for those certain rules his possess. Just check the original Brotherhood or `The Voodoo Academy', or for more back past, go watch some of the Puppet Master installment. One thing to notice here, even the film feel so sexy, there's no nudity or hardcore sex scene. Just some people do the erotic flirting.However, the product design is truly below average, but funny though, as a lame horror movie, `Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' still manage to entertain, even in a cheesy one, as long as you don't bother with the dull plot and the homosexuality situations. Despite of those, `Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' is still a cure for your insomniacs or boredom. 5/10
If you are a Lowell High School class of 1996 alumn, then you might find this film interesting. Also, this movie over does the homo erotica bit, such as the scene where the boys must lick the warlock's face in order to join his coven.
I like horror films, films about magic and films about warlocks, but this is a cheap and nasty effort, with scenes that are too long, inappropriate synthesizer music that is too loud and bad acting. Don't be fooled by the slick cover. This is rubbish.
