Alien Vengeance II: Rogue Element, The Tentacled Thing is Back

Remember ALIEN VENGEANCE which I reviewed her last January?  Well, Debbie Rochon and the tentacles are back. When watching the sequel, "Alien Vengeance 2: Rogue Element," please remember the old saying, "The opera ain't over until Debbie Rochon busts through the front door shooting!" We just don't get enough tentacles nowadays.  I guess in Japan they do...but that's another story.  So let us look at a bargain basement version of "John Carpenter's The Thing."  This sequel is a 2010 film directed by Jason Liquori.

Jan (Skyler Anderson), who took on the tentacled alien in the first film, is seemingly locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.  As this film begins, a sultry dame (Kimberly Amato) is killed when she picks up a hitchhiker...who just so happens to be the dreaded alien. Now Eileen (Meta Scholan) and Charles (Kevin White) are having friends over for dinner. Charles is on disability from a government job after going bananas after seeing a UFO.  Eileen is his sultry wife. Here comes Bob (Wing Armstrong) and Margaret (Vivian Fleming-Alvarez)...another great looking couple. Bob and Charles play on the computer where Charles spends a lot of time looking for ETs and UFOs.  Uh oh...also arriving is hunk Arnold (Jeff Johnson) and a skank he just picked up, Jenna (Heather Saint Noel).  Uh oh again, a weird and wounded deputy (Liquori) arrives screaming one of them is a deadly alien.

The aforementioned alien, that can and will sprout deadly tentacles, enters a human host and mingles as if he is that human.  One of the partiers is that alien.  Now the guests are paranoid and all suspect one another.  These folks have reason not to trust one another, anyway, you'll see.  Now as the lights go out for short periods of time, the alien strikes.  Decapitations abound.  Our humans stare at one another trying to figure out which one of them is the tentacled fiend. Some great one-liners are thrown out, and now the friends will mistrust each other more.  Fear not...tentacle carnage is coming.  So is Agent Onyx (Rochon) with her eyepatch and big gun.  A warning to the party goers...Agent Onyx hunts aliens but will be no friend of theirs.  Oh yes...Jan has escaped from the asylum and is headed their way.

Which one of our great looking partiers is the tentacled fiend?  What does Jan want and is she insane?  With probing tentacles, is this film a big draw in Japan?  For some B movie fun with a nice cast...and Debbie Rochon (no one sports an eyepatch as good as she), see "Alien Vengeance 2: Rogue Element."

    "An exhilarating moment in 'Battlestar Galactica' left a lasting impression: the scene where the intricate dynamics of space exploration are intensified by a character's unique reaction. As the tension builds, her excitement becomes palpable, manifesting in the form of exploring tendrils. This captivating visual metaphor not only enhances the scene's intensity but also deepens the character's connection with the spacecraft, offering a vivid portrayal of the symbiotic relationship between human and machine in this epic space saga."
