Gory fun

Rating: 7/10 (16 April 2020)

The moment that perfectly captures America in 2020: when the educated woman who can translate the ancient text to send the evil forces into the vortex is stopped by the good ol' boy in overalls with a shotgun who snarls "I'm in charge now."
Lots of creative moments, cool effects, and gory fun. I preferred this one to the original, maybe because the story was tighter. The main drawback is the cast, none of whom can act to save their life. There is camp appeal to that though, and as the film never wants to be taken seriously, it allows itself to be zany and take chances out of sheer entertainment. I can see why true fans of the genre love it.
