Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I put this movie into my DVD player without ever seeing the first Brotherhood or researching for this film, so I really didn't know what to expect, except that my uncle(who let me borrow it) said it was crap.It's basically about 3 outcasts who meet a a new kid at their high school named Luke who promises them whatever they want is they break the 10 Commandments and be his friends. They all agree and break 9 of the Commandments with the last one being murder.This movie is really just below average. The dialogue isn't great and it really isn't much of a horror movie as it's not scary and the horror elements don't really kick in until way after the halfway mark. If you watch this from beginning till about the halfway point, you'd think this was a coming of age teen drama with gay soft core porn.I will admit that some of the music was pretty decent, and I thought it was edited together really well. Unfortunately though, for a cult movie there is pretty much no blood, just an off screen stabbing and a sliced throat.I don't recommend this unless your a women or gay with some extra time on your hands to watch a pretty dull "horror" film.

Before we go any further, I must claim; `The Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' isn't really a sequel, but a follow up from the original. If the first one tells about a male vampire attempt to find his followers among some hunky males, so the second one tells about a male witch attempt to find his followers among some hunky males!That's right, `The Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' is barely having any plot at all. It just illustrates a bunch of males in their underwear and does some lame acting. Even there's a gorgeous girl there, but the actual eroticisms are happening among these guys, and I must admit the male actors are `act so good' in their erotic scenes.`Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' is a so-called horror movies and the thrill is only adhere. There's no gruesome gore, cutting-edge FX, or twisted plot. The horror tensions build by it themes and some PG-13 violence. The main issue here is the guys in their underwear (!) and the homoeroticism theme it has. These aren't strange because the director, David DeCoteau is well-known for those certain rules his possess. Just check the original Brotherhood or `The Voodoo Academy', or for more back past, go watch some of the Puppet Master installment. One thing to notice here, even the film feel so sexy, there's no nudity or hardcore sex scene. Just some people do the erotic flirting.However, the product design is truly below average, but funny though, as a lame horror movie, `Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' still manage to entertain, even in a cheesy one, as long as you don't bother with the dull plot and the homosexuality situations. Despite of those, `Brotherhood II: The Young Warlock' is still a cure for your insomniacs or boredom. 5/10

If you are a Lowell High School class of 1996 alumn, then you might find this film interesting. Also, this movie over does the homo erotica bit, such as the scene where the boys must lick the warlock's face in order to join his coven.

Three misfits at Chandler Academy are seduced by newcomer Luke--a strong, silent guy. It seems he's a warlock and needs fresh, young bodies to stay alive. A followup (NOT a sequel)to "The Brotherhood" is actually an improvement on the first. Like the original, this is just an excuse to show hunky, young guys in their underwear. The homoeroticism has been upped (especially in the shower and pool scenes) and this even has a little bit more violence. The story moves quickly, it is well-directed (excellent use of wide screen) and there are two good performances by Forrest Cochran as Luke and Sean Faris as John. Everybody else, however, is terrible.So, this is a passable time waster--especially for us gay guys!
