Special Two Disc Edition containing the original "Movie" version & the "Snuff" version, the way the killer intended.
Shane Ryan's sequel to the disturbing Amateur Porn Star Killer is a brutal calling card to all those who were enraged by its predecessor (and there were many). Ryan is a force to be reckoned with, and he's not letting up any time soon.
The victim here isn't a young girl. This one doesn't just go quietly, either. She fights back. She knows she's in trouble, but she mistakenly thinks she can get away. In other movies, she would escape and somber music would play as the credits creep up the screen. The audience would leave the theatre satisfied that the bad guy got what he deserved. They would go home feeling safe. Ryan doesn't let anyone have such notions. He shows things as they really are. This is what a killer would film. This is how it would look, and if you didn't know any better, you'd swear it was real. (And you still can't be totally sure it's not.)
Amateur Porn Star Killer 2 is not a rehash of the first film. It's a continuation, the next step in Ryan's world of raw horror. It has transcended the label of exploitation cinema and now has its feet firmly planted in the wet ground of artistic snuff. Bothered yet? In a little over an hour you will be, and you'll hate Ryan for it.
Ryan, with the first APSK, eradicated the boundaries of acceptable cinema. With this film he's taken over the territory, and it's doubtful any other director has the guts or skills to snatch the kingdom away from him.
Prepare yourself. This is going to leave marks.

Wow - stark, dark and real.Reviewed by D. Weinstein, 2009-03-30
There are two versions here - the regular director's cut and then the "snuff" cut marked EVIDENCE - go with that one. It gets across the idea without any "artiness." The snuff cut is just an uninterupted cut of the encounter between the killer and his prey (who the guy is either married to or something because - there is a hella-contact in this movie) - more graphic sexually and more disturbing than the first film - which had bad arty stuff ruining the mood every few minutes, the SNUFF cut ( i can't believe they called it that - but it's accurate) is truly dark material if you like this kind of thing - normally I don't - but when it's done this well - it brings you into another dimension you're not really used to - this isn't a thriller - this is truly disturbing stuff. But sit back and watch it unfold - that's the mesmerizing lure of these films - to see how far he goes. I haven't seen 3 yet - thankfuly it's the last chapter as we don't want this killer to turn into Freddy.
A brilliant sequelReviewed by CCF, 2008-04-04
When I first heard a sequel was being planned to "Amateur Porn Star Killer," I had my doubts. Most sequels suck. But Shane pulled it off. I was extremely surprised how good part two ended up being. It can completely stand on its own and at the same time it's a brilliant sequel. Shane retools his original concept and adds to his killer's mythology without undermining his first film. That's something you rarely see with movies that have second and third installments. After seeing this, I can't wait for part three.
