A disappointing sequel

Rating: 4/10 (30 October 2001)

The problem with this film is that after the original that showed up some of the cliches in horror films, this seems to be trying to invent its own. One in particular is the tendency for characters to split up for no apparent reason, allowing the killer to kill one of them.
The plot is not as good as that of the original, with quite a few holes in it. The first killing in the original was very well executed, and convincing, but in this, the first killing is poorly executed and unconvincing, although the idea behind it is quite good.
This film is probably worth watching, but does not have the spark of originality that the original had. It is scary in places, and has funny moments but this is by no means as good as the original was.
