Feeders is not required viewing before seeing Feeders 2: Slay Bells. That's because Slay Bells has nothing to do with the first movie. There is some recapping done at the beginning with interview footage of Derek from Feeders. Where is Derek, who is he talking to, and why are they taping his interview? No idea, it's never explained.
There is a flashback to the first movie at around 45 minutes. I have no idea why they would do that. It is also never explained why Bennet from the first film looks exactly like Alan. This makes it even more confusing as to why they would insert the flashback.
Plus at the end of Feeders, Derek is cowering in the street while the city is under attack from the aliens, buildings are being destroyed, and it appears the Earth is going to be demolished. Guess that didn't happen because it's a calm, peaceful Christmas in town until the aliens arrive... again.
Alan, Mary and their kids are preparing for Christmas eve and decorating their tree. Alan has to work for a mean old boss and doesn't know what time he'll be home that night. Meanwhile aliens have landed and are trying to eat anyone they can get their strange little alien hands on.
That night while Santa delivering presents, Santa and an elf are attacked by aliens. Santa is knocked out of his sleigh, landing in a heap in Alan's backyard. It's Santa vs. Aliens, which could potentially be exciting - but not in this case, even though Santa has a raygun.
This is painful to watch. As with Feeders, theres lots of padding in this film. We get to see Alan look up UFOs on his computer, his wife wrap Christmas presents, their kids watch cartoons, and aliens run around in the basement or outside the house. And these are two foot tall aliens with chopstick arms and styrofoam heads, so it's not as exciting as you'd hope.

| Is it Jesus or Derek insanely babbling about aliens? |
 |
| Flashback to Feeders and an alien eating a head |
 |
You know it's going to be an exciting film when
these are the main characters. |
 |
| Look... a UFO? |
 |
| Alan shows his acting range as a ceramic goose looks on. |
 |
| Her 90s hairstyle is getting bigger. |
 |
| No one notices the alien by the side of the road. |
 |
| These teeth can rip nothing to shreds. |
 |
The dead cat effect - now this is just confusing. Is this a
photo of a cat with ripped edges painted red? |
 |
| New Aliens - now with styrofoam heads |
 |
| Alien vision captures a typical 90s housewife |
 |
| Don't you die on me. |
 |
| Santa's raygun |
