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

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!

Well, I didn't see the first one. I suppose I thought that this would be a major breast-fest, and it isn't. There are a few brief, but nice boobie scenes, some of which are ruined by the special effects, but you can't catch this film just for those. However, there's not much else. The plot is complete and utter B-movie sci-fi dreck. The direction and production values are OK. The acting is as good as the material will allow, in some cases, (See Dina Meyer, Kailin See, Tobin Bell) to acceptable, (see Kim Poirier) to atrocious (see most anybody else) Have to hand out gold stars for pulchritude to Kailin See, Dina Meyer, Kim Poirier, and Jessica Kennedy Parker. But other than checking out the pretty girls, there's not any reason to see this.

A sequel that's slightly sexier than the original thanks to a better-looking female cast and a shower scene with the attractive female lead, unfortunately it's shown thru the shower curtain. Dina Meyer also still looks lovely. The story resembles part I: attractive female aliens looking to maintain their kind alive by reproducing with humans, except that the males don't fare well after the mating. The death and disappearance of male college students may indicate that something's not right and the character who survived part I now is a psychologically fragile graduate assistant who knows what is going on. Kim Poirier steals the show, again. But this time around she gets less screen time unfortunately. Like all Canadian productions, this movie, too, has the Canadian feel: harmless, good-natured, emphasis on relationships and dialogue. So it's not particularly scary, violent, or erotic. If you liked part I you'll enjoy this one as well. If you haven't seen any of them, check both out, you'll fall in love with Kim. This series has potential, it could easily out-sexy the Species series. It just needs a production team that's not afraid of showing violence and full frontal nudity. I'm looking forward to part III with more of Kim and hopefully an edgier production that takes advantage of the R-rating.
