Synopsis:
A plotless gonzo film with a heavy emphasis on rough anal sex.

Video/Audio:
Nacho: Latin Psycho 2: Crazy Assylum is presented in the full screen aspect ratio, 1.33:1, which appears to be the original aspect ratio for the film. The video is a mixed call, in some portions of the film the color levels are too light causing black to show as grey and the picture quality is grainy and comes off looking like poor quality VHS. In other portions of the film the picture is in great shape, exhibiting some slight grain with perfect color levels. Luckily, there are more portions of the film with the better picture quality than the poor picture quality.

The available audio track for the feature film is an English 2.0 Stereo track which is mediocre shape and sounds to be mostly monaural. The default audio level is very low requiring the viewer to turn their stereo equipment higher than normal to hear what is going on. Other than that the audio is in decent shape albeit there is a faint hiss during portions of the film. This shouldn't be distracting enough to detract from the viewing experience though. There are burned in Spanish subtitles for portions of the film which are easy to read, but some viewers might find distracting. The subtitles are done in an odd style, in some portions of the film the subtitles are on a black bar that spans the screen and sometimes are just white lettering across the screen. No other language tracks and no other subtitle options are available.

Chapters/Time Code:
There are 12 chapters available from the main menu for Nacho: Latin Psycho 2 and 43 within the film itself. They are identified on the chapter menu by a video clip and a scene name or cast members involved. This navigation system allows the viewer easy access to any portion of the film they are looking for. There is a time code for the feature film, so time searching is available.

Special Features:
Evil Angel has given this disc several extras, of which several have to do with the feature film. The best extra by far is the extra footage that was cut from the film which runs for a huge 37 minutes. Evil Angel has also included a fetish menu, which allows the viewer to jump right to the portions of scenes including tease, blowjobs, rimming, toys, anal and double penetration. There is an expansive photo gallery on the disc containing 70 photos that you have to flip through. The complete cast list breaks down the scenes by the cast members included in them. There are Evil Angel filmographies for Bella Donna, Lupe, Silvia Lancome, and Isha. And finally there are the website URLs for Evil Angel, John Stagliano, and Nacho Vidal.

Review:
Nacho: Latin Psycho 2 is a gonzo film that has really low production values. A big downside to the film is that it feels random. Gonzo films are not known for having a direct line to the film, but here is an example of the worst of that. The editing doesn't have any pacing to it and sex acts are randomly jumped into almost as if Nacho was going by a checklist of what he wanted in the film and directed the film like an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway? calling out what he wanted the cast to do next. This random style definitely hurts the film and may drive away potential viewers.

The sex in this film is on the rough and nasty side and is definitely for fans of the ass as most of the film centers around something going into or coming out of an asshole. The sex scenes in the film are long, some very long, the first scene with Bella, Lupe, and Nacho lasts for almost an hour or another way to look at it is as long as some of the shorter porn movies out there.

This film has given me another sex act to add to my list of things I never needed to see in an adult film. The scene that wins this award is the one with Nacho, Bella and Lupe where Nacho inserts three Dum∙Dums lollipops up Bella's ass then orally removes them so that he, Bella and Lupe can enjoy sucking on them. I don't derive sexual pleasure from watching things being shoved up an asshole and then taken orally, which this film has plenty of. In the same scene as above, Bella also ends up taking a dildo the width of my arm up her ass that then gets shoved in her face. Viewers who are into these acts will probably find themselves in Heaven while watching this film though.

Viewers who enjoy midgets will get a real kick out of this film as a midget is predominately featured in the middle of the film. Personally, this isn't something that I am into, but I can now say that I have seen a midget on a sybian, for what value that holds. I can't help but feel that the film derogatorily portrays them as well, especially when Nacho sticks her in a mini fridge at the end of the scene.

Another reason I found myself disliking this film is the sex tends to cross over into being derogatory toward women, which is something that I don't enjoy. However, for viewers who are into that, the cast members all appear to be enjoying themselves. Viewers who like tamer sex and couples viewers will probably find the sex not to be of their liking. The sexual themes in the film are oral, anal and vaginal sex with toys, lesbianism, anal object insertion, rimming (male to female), DP, strap-ons, midgets, choking, spitting, anal fingering, A2M and what appears to be a sybian.

The Money Shot:
Although this film was not to my liking, fans of adult films with no plot and rough nasty sex with a heavy emphasis on anal should find a lot of enjoyment from this film. Evil Angel again has proven their commitment to provide customer satisfaction by putting some excellent extras on the disc that should be enjoyed by fans of the film. Viewers who like tamer sex, don't like intense ass play, like a plot and most couples audiences probably will find this film to be a waste of time and would be better off looking for another title.
