It seems to me that everyone is too critical when it comes to this film. I never dreamed that the original would bear a sequel, and the ingenuity involved to come up with this script should be commended. Mary Lambert is a terrific horror film director and it is sad to see that she isn't getting the chance to direct more of them (excluding her recent D.T.V "Urban Legends" sequel). The atmosphere is well done and creepy, and all in all this is an entertaining, fun, very gory romp that fans of the genre should applaud. This film misses the like of Fred Gwynne, but Clancy Brown steals the show here as Gus, the "dead is better" sheriff that for the last 45 minutes really makes this script work. Anthony Edwards turns in a solid performance, the biggest drawback would have to be Edward Furlong (who has never impressed me) and Jared Rushton who are horrible in their respective roles. Great soundtrack included-all and all top notch entertainment for horror fans.
