A sequel to a since abandoned shot-on-video feature (that I’d still love to see!), Achuras 2: Feto Voodoo is a brand-spankin’ new slice of cinematic debauchery rife with raucous antics, satanic shitstorms and ooey-gooey undead that Facal and crew have decided to commit to slip-case covered video vindication to appease all the analog-crazed splatter comedy aficionados.
