Not much to say about this one, seeing as it mostly just re-uses the locations from the 2003 movie. I didn’t like this one as much, though I thought it was still generally entertaining. Just a missed opportunity to do something more interesting with a prequel.
UPDATE
I was able to revisit some of these locations in October of 2024. I also was able to get pictures of a few locations that had not been located at the time of my last visit, namely the road where the robbery/car crash occurs and the motel where the kids are staying at the beginning.
