Karmina 2 (French: Karmina 2, L'Enfer de Chabot) is a Canadian comedy horror film from Quebec, directed by Gabriel Pelletier and released in 2001.[1]

A sequel to the 1996 film Karmina, the film centres on Ghislain Chabot (Gildor Roy), the potion-maker who had a smaller supporting role in the first film.[2] When his wife Linda (Diane Lavallée) throws him out of the house after a fight, blocking his access to the potion that he sells to vampires to allow them to take human form, he is forced to figure out how to get back into the house to reclaim his supplies. Meanwhile, Karmina (Isabelle Cyr) and Philippe (Robert Brouillette) return to Montreal.[3]

The cast also includes Yves Pelletier, Sylvie Léonard, Julien Poulin, Michel Courtemanche, France Castel, Sylvie Potvin, Pierre Collin, Macha Limonchik, Annie Dufresne, Michel Laperrière, Louis Champagne, Richard Thériault, Gary Boudreault and Marie-Chantal Perron.

Gaétan Huot was a Jutra Award nominee for Best Editing at the 4th Jutra Awards.[5]
