Up to par with the original

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2001)

This is one of those sequels that is just as good as the first. Nothing was lost in the transition. Supposedly there was a different first draft of the script that had a different killer, but I don't see how it could've compared to this. Don't get me wrong, the first one is by far better, but this one is also good. The only problem I had with part 2 is the whole part about the copycat killer. I would've made for a better plot if that angle were carried throughout the film. And once again, the opening fifteen minutes are extremely gratifying. Too bad Mr. Williamson didn't stay around for the third installment.
