After testing the waters with “Taboo,” which followed the adventures of Barbara Scott (Kay Parker) as she debated whether or not to sleep with her son (spoiler alert: she did), director Kirdy Stevens and screenwriter Helene Terrie return to intensify the situation with “Taboo II,” which keeps up the incest quest by visiting a family on the verge of sexual explosion. As sequels go, the production does a fine job of escalation, working to top previous perverse achievements by doubling down on the titular temptation, making for a far stranger but amazingly coherent follow-up.
Wear and tear is prevalent throughout "Taboo II" (1.85:1 aspect ratio), with the source material struggling with stability issues. There are skipped frames, thick green scratches, rough reel changes, and various points of damage, and it could disrupt the viewing experience for some. However, while shortcomings are unavoidable, the feature looks terrific when working through cleaner sections, showcasing outstanding clarity, delivering all the detail a person could want from entertainment like this, with special attention to costuming and set decoration. Ample nudity also has its graphic highlights. Colors are nicely refreshed, with bold primaries and period hues, and skintones are natural. Delineation is communicative. Grain is filmic and quite appealing.
The 1.0 DTS-HD MA sound mix is also hit with damage issues, finding a few audio dropouts along the way. There's also a battle with clarity, with some sequences struggling with muffled dialogue exchanges, making intelligibility difficult at times, losing a line here and here. Soundtrack selections also tease distortive extremes, but they mostly sound supportive, adding a rock throb to the listening event. Scratchiness is encountered, with some hiss.
"Taboo II" generally improves on "Taboo," showing newfound confidence with its premise, working with the knowledge that, in fact, audiences are interested in a domestic sexual rodeo. The production makes an effort to take the gamesmanship with a degree of seriousness, but Stevens still comes through with a sensual, sick-o endeavor, continuing the journey of this tastefully bonkers adult film franchise.
