The Freeling family is back and this time we are given more story into the evil that haunted their previous home. Mediums Tangina (Zelda Rubenstein) and Taylor (Will Sampson) have dug under the swimming pool of the old house and understand that the evil is still after the Freeling family. JoBeth Williams and Craig T. Nelson return as the parents and Heather O'Rourke (still cute and creepy) and Oliver Robins are the kids. Sadly Dominick Dunne was killed not long after the original came out, so her character is not within this story.
While in my opinion this is a major step down from the original it still is worth a look if you enjoyed the original. Writers Mark Victor and Michael Grais return to pen this sequel. To me this film just doesn't have as strong of a sense of direction as the original did. Yet, there are some good effects that wowed audiences back in the day and a cool looking vomit monster. No really. Don't think I will ever drink Tequila ever again. Also starring Geraldine Fitzgerald as Diane's mother who the family is now living with and Julian Beck as the evil Kane. Like each film in the original trilogy there are stories about how this film was cursed. Both Sampson (died during heart and lung transplant surgery in 1987) and Beck (stomach cancer before film was released) passed away close to the film's release.
