I would like to argue again, please.
1. Sleepaway Camp 3 is my personal favorite of the series, which says a lot because I also consider the original to be one of my all-time favorites. It has wonderful, elaborate deaths (as did Return to Sleepaway Camp, despite some poor cgi), wacky characters, and hilarious dialogue. I found none of these qualities in part 2, and I've sat through it twice.
I'll give SC2 another shot tonight though. Just in case I really am missing something.
2. Cabin Fever 2 is not necessarily a good film, but I have a feeling that the original cut was a great film. If you watched the video I linked to, Ti talks about how it played off more as a John Waters/Todd Solodnz comedy with great gore scenes.
The slightest cut can really fuck up a film's delivery, let alone if the studio re-edits your footage from scratch, and actually films additional scenes without you.
3. The thing I really like about West is that it's obvious his best work is still ahead of him. There aren't many filmmakers I admire that I can say that about.
The imagery in his recent films is spectacular. I think this is mostly due to the addition of D.P., Eliot Rockett (CF2, HOTD), but given the eagerness of The Roost, I think it's safe to say that visual duties are equally shared between the two.
