Taboo II: Hearts Entwined
The story shifts focus from the Scott family of the first film to the McBride family
Availability and Notes
"Taboo II" is a sequel to an earlier film that pushed boundaries in storytelling and content. The original "Taboo" film, released in 1980, was directed by Sean S. Cunningham and became infamous for its explicit content and themes. Given its controversial nature, "Taboo II" was highly anticipated and scrutinized even before its release.
The Plot Continuity: Taboo II operates as a direct chronological sequel. It transitions focus from the Scott family to the McBride family. The narrative centers around a young man who, after learning about the mother-son dynamic of a previous acquaintance, begins to aggressively push the boundaries of his own household relationships.

As the family's secrets unravel, the film explores a web of forbidden relationships involving the parents, Joyce and Greg McBride, and their children. Key Cast & Production Taboo II (1982) - IMDb
The film was a drama, shot in a gritty, realistic style, with powerful performances from the leads. It was a complex, thought-provoking exploration of the taboo subject of incest, and it left me feeling shaken and disturbed. The Story: A Continuation of Forbidden Love Taboo
The film was originally released on May 3, 1982. In recent years, it has received a high-quality restoration for modern home media: Taboo II (1982) - Full cast & crew - IMDb
