Animal Instincts 2 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. At its heart, Animal Instincts 2 understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. An unhappy divorcée has the bad fortune to move next door to a security systems installer, a voyeur whose hobby is planting hidden video cameras in the bedrooms of all his clients. He then monitors the sex lives of his customers through an elaborate TV monitor system in his garage. Joanna Cole becomes his latest victim, but when she discovers the camera by accident, she reverts back to her exhibitionist ways and begins putting on sex shows for his pleasure. Shannon Whirry and Woody Brown lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1994. What makes Animal Instincts 2 hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Animal Instincts 2. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison.
