Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Wuchak Released in 2007, "Decoys 2: Alien Seduction" chronicles events at a Canadian campus where female aliens masquerade as hot blondes and seduce male students in order to perpetuate their dying species. Corey Sevier and Kim Poirier return from the first film, the former as a secondary protagonist and the latter is one of the key aliens. Michelle Molineux plays another notable alien, amongst others, all gorgeous. This time Tyler Johnston and Kailin See star as the student heroes assisted by a few others. Dina Meyer and Tobin Bell are on hand as a psychiatrist and professor respectively.Like the first movie, "Decoys 2" mixes elements of 1995's "Species" with the campus environment of 1998's "Urban Legend," but also adds a subplot from 1999's "The Rage: Carrie 2" in that the male students compete in a game to see who can bed more hotties. If you like any of those films then you'll probably like this one, which is on par or better (except I prefer "The Rage" for reasons cited in my review). In any case, "Decoys 2" is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor and might even be a little better. It offers possibly even better women (e.g. Kailin See, Meyer and Molineux) and definitely has better F/X as the appearance of the creatures has noticeably improved. The cast is even better in that a group of students and someone else team-up against the aliens and their camaraderie is a pleasure.While many people hate the Decoys movies I give them a relatively high rating simply because they're entertaining, which is my main criteria for the worthiness of any movie. Both "Decoys" and "Decoys 2" hit most of the mandatory checkboxes for an effective horror flick. I particularly like the campus-in-the-dead-of-winter locations, which no other slasher/monster flick has done to my knowledge. Speaking of the locations, "Decoys 2" was shot on an Edmonton campus, roughly 2000 miles west of the Ottawa locations of the first film.Maybe the reason horror aficionados dislike the Decoys films is because they add humor and camp. I usually don't like horror films that mix-in comedy, like 2002's crappy "Cabin Fever," but the Decoys films mix them in a palatable way. Neither of these movies is scary, although there are a couple of "got ya" scenes and the aliens are hideous, but they're satisfyingly amusing with good casts and superb women.The film runs 94 minutes.GRADE: B

Leofwine_draca It's hard to believe that the distinctly-average-with-a-great-cast B-movie SPECIES would spawn numerous sequels and rip-offs, but I guess there's plenty of mileage in having tentacled aliens taking the form of beautiful blonde women and stripping off to procreate with unassuming earth-men. So far I've counted three SPECIES sequels and now two Canadian DECOYS movies, although there are probably plenty more that I've not encountered yet.DECOYS 2: ALIEN SEDUCTION is a typically cheesy and altogether fun little B-movie that was shot on and around a university campus. The Canadian climes give it a distinctly chilly backdrop which the writers exploit for all their worth (for some reason, the aliens have a fondness for below-zero temperatures). Male viewers may be disappointed in the fact that there's slightly less nudity than you'd expect from the premise, but there are other things to enjoy besides.Not least the characters, who are surprisingly warm and engaging for a low-budget B-feature. The male students, all of them desperate to lose their virginity, are surprisingly well-drawn and well-acted by genre standards and I enjoyed watching their interactions. The producers even rope in a couple of genre stalwarts, namely Dina Meyer (STARSHIP TROOPERS) and Tobin Bell (SAW) who both get little more than extended cameos. And the film is replete with cheesy-looking alien critters and a whole host of human-vs-aliens action at the climax; somehow this is more entertaining than the likes of the OTT mayhem of something like EVIL ALIENS. It certainly ain't high art, but I'd buy that for a dollar!

Wizard-8 The original "Decoys" was an absolutely terrible movie, which is probably why its Canadian distributor only gave it a half-hearted theatrical release. But it must have made money somewhere down the line, because here we have this sequel, and it's just as bad as the original. This is a really cheap enterprise - it's shoddily filmed, has tacky sets, and the alien effects (both in CGI and non-CGI) look like there was hardly any money to spend. The acting is really appalling, with not one actor managing to be the least sympathetic. Though part of that is due to the script, which creates really brain-dead characters in a story that is barely there. If you are thinking of tuning in anyway for sex and nudity, be warned, because there is no sex and only a few seconds of nudity. Just before the closing credits, we are told, "The End maybe". How I hope that this is truly the end and there won't be a "Decoys 3"!

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Since the first "Decoys" movie was a total letdown, this sequel was a big improvement. Still sexy though, or it would be a bigger disappointment! Here you have a man named Sam(Tyler Johnston) who he and his buddies are in college, and they meet some beautiful blondes. Each one wants to score. Of course they were going to lose more than just their virginity, they are going to lose each friend to these lethal ladies. The last survivor of the decoy attack Luke(Corey Seiver) happens to be around, meets with the guys and Stephanie(Kailin See) to help stop these seductive sirens. Since the "decoys" don't have navels, that makes them easy to spot. One of the friends was left paranoid after his first encounter. Sam had to double check on Stephanie when she later flashed him. At least more came up to fight. Only one was a little off his kilter after he nearly got killed by them. These ladies needed to learn to be more careful in their plan, it seems they have been very sloppy. This movie was a little more comical than the first, much more horror, and more entertaining than the first one. "Decoys 2" is like "Species", only colder! 3 out of 5 stars!
