I've heard bad things about this film, even worse than than the original which I personally thought was good. I found this one to be just as good.
The film this time around follows a rebellious teenager who installs a virus into a College Campus Computer which causes the electronics to be possessed & kill people off in Final Destination esque ways.
I found the film to be good, while it lacks in gore, it does have a better bodycount than the first film. The story is interesting enough, though the virus being named "Mangler 2.0" was a clear attempt (like the title) to tie in to the original even though it bares no comparisson. But it's important to remember this is a stand alone sequel using a different concept, people would complain if it was like the first. You can't win with a tough crowd eh.
The eye candy is pretty good and the characters while card board like, were good. The pacing was a bit off despite the 89 minute runtime.
Overall, it's not as bad as people are making out. People need to remember that just cause it's a sequel, doesn't mean it has to be like the first or the same. This is a STAND ALONE Sequel & is not half bad. Yes, it is kind of sucky, but what do you expect. It's a cheaply made film & not made on a huge budget, but that doesn't make it bad. The effects are good for what they are as with vissuals. The ending wasn't too bad either & better than the first in terms of the ending.
6/10.
