*1/2 - Yet another film in which there is some sort of tenuous connection made between Vampires and Werewolves. I will confess that I am not the greatest monster scholar on the planet, but I can’t recall ever hearing about any sort of Vampire-Werewolf relationship until the last decade or so. Now, every vampire-based movie that comes out has werewolves tossed in as well. What’s next? Frankenstein and a mummy in a three-way with the Creature from the Black Lagoon? Anyway, this sequel to 2008’s “Twilight” is every bit as dumb as the first movie. It manages to advance all the dopey subplots of the original in small increments, while simultaneously introducing new subplots AND bringing the main storyline to a grinding halt. I gave this an extra ½ star because there is one splendidly ridiculous scene in which a Rasta vampire gets eaten by a pack of unconvincing CG werewolves
