Very Enjoyable Sequel, But It Can't Match The Original

Warning: Spoilers
Very enjoyable sequel, but it can't match the original. The effects for the most part are top notch, and the story is engaging, however it does get a little silly near the end, and the fly effects were pretty bad, overall, though, this is a really fun sequel with 2 great leads.It was rather intense at times, and often quite creepy, but some of the stalking scenes, were too long,and i wish John Getz, had more screen time, overall though, this was a very enjoyable sequel. The Direction is pretty good. Chris Walas, does a pretty good job here, with cool camera angles, some cool tricks, however he is no David Cronenberg, and it did get a bit long in tooth near the end, but the pace was excellent for the most part, and he did a solid job overall. There is TONS of gore just like the 1st. We get some very gory surgery scenes, nasty child birth, bitten off fingers, lots of acid spray, TONS AND TONS of slime, TONS and TONS of weird gore that's hard to explain, bloody corpse, big puddle of blood, ripped off face, acid spray to the hand, a head gets crushed (very gory)and more!. The Acting is very good. Eric Stoltz, does an excellent job here, he is very likable, had good chemistry with Daphne Zuniga, and was perfect for the lead. Daphne Zuniga, is very pretty, and does very well here,and had good chemistry with Eric Stoltz!. Lee Richardson,is excellent here, he was mysterious, and his character was unpredictable i liked him. John Getz is excellent reprises his small role here, and i wish he had more screen time. Overall i highly recommend this sequel!. ***1/2 out of 5
