When two tourists and their canal boat guide are found brutally murdered, detective Tara Lee is assigned to the case. Following another killing, retired detective Eric Visser is brought back in, as there are fears that someone is recreating one of his old cases.

Director Maas still has a flair for bloodshed and a confident directorial style. Amsterdamned II picks up the thread of one of the Netherlands’ truly great cult films, hovering on the line between sequel and reboot. This is a nostalgic slasher with a generous dose of light-hearted humor.
