Monkeybone wasn't terrible!

It wasn't a well acted or constructed story with amazing dialogue but it set out to be an incredibly weird niche movie with a specific vibe and it nailed that vibe perfectly!

10/10 movie in my books. It did exactly what it was planning to do.

The people making sequels only want to accomplish that. That’s the whole point of sequels and franchises.

Nobody in charge is thinking: “gosh that’s an important or interesting story that has some more depth in it. We should explore that concept in a new way”

It’s always: “that movie sold enough to justify risking money on producing another product that sells just as much”
