Written & Directed by Ken Wiederhorn (Shock Waves) made an entertaining sequel, which is less violent and less gory that the original but this feels more like a remake than a sequel. James Karen & Thom Mathews reprise their role somewhat different from the original film. Robert Elswit did the cinematography on this one, which he's best know for his cinematography work in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Hard Eight, Mangolia and Punch-Drunk Love. Look for Mitch Pileggi (Wes Craven's Shocker and T.V.'s The X-Files) in a bit part. (***/*****).
