Being a fan of Stephen King, and loving most of the 80's and 90's film adaptions, including Sometimes They Come Back. I only came across this sequel by accident a few days back and have only just watched it. What can I say other than it is utter dross. Its 90 minutes I will not get back, it has a weak cast and a weaker plot. I really would not bother with this at all, sometimes sequels should never comeback..

Having watched the excellent first film, (the first film will make you laugh and cry it is that good), and being a fan of Stephen King adaptions I was intrigued by the subsequent sequels, the trailer shows Hilary Swank looking goddamn beautiful, in a bedroom scene having sex with a demon type dude played by Alexis Arquette, this is the only part of the film that I found to be of any value.When she looks at the camera, right there in that 1 second, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and she is quite cute throughout, she outshines and out acts everyone else in the film, so it is worth watching for her superior acting, though that is not saying much, cos all the other actors are so crap it is embarrassing, I won't add anything else because there is no depth.And the bit at the end where the guy has the loose electric cable and the demons, having already been killed that way years before, step into the same pool of water and stand there in the middle of it, waiting for him to touch the cable with it is just so amateur and awful it is just an insult to a viewers intelligence.I am off to find a girlfriend that looks like Hilary Swank in this film, wish me luck everyone.

I wonder if these idiots have actually seen this film before they review it and give the low ratings. I give it a solid 10. The special-effects, sound-effects and all round acting is top-notch.This film is a sequel to the film Sometimes They Come Back (1991) based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.This film stars veteran actor Michael Gross and an added bonus: the gorgeous beauty Hilary Swank. Michael Gross isn't an imbecile to sign on for a film whose script isn't good. He thoroughly commands this film and his expressions throughout the film are believable.Hilary Swank on the other hand is the plot device on which the film hinges on. She is rightfully chosen for the film because of her seductive looks.The villain of the film is played by the awesome Alexis Arquette.Plot: Psychologist Jon Porter (Michael Gross) learns that his mother has just mysteriously fallen to her death. Jon and his teenage daughter Michelle (Hilary Swank) return to Jon's hometown of Glenrock for his mother's funeral. Once there, painful memories return. Thirty years earlier, when Jon was a child, he witnessed the brutal murder of his older sister Lisa (Leslie Danon), who was stabbed to death in a cave by a thug named Tony Reno (Alexis Arquette) and his two friends Vinnie (Bojesse Christopher) and Sean (Glen Beauden). But Jon managed to throw an electrical wire into a puddle of bloody water they were standing in, killing all three of them.Michelle becomes friends with mentally retarded gardener Steve (Gabriel Dell Jr.), as well as two girls, boy-crazy Maria (Jennifer Aspen), and Maria's psychic best friend, Jules (Jennifer Elise Cox), who used to clean her grandmother's house. The night after the funeral, they invite Michelle to go to the dinner with them, saying they would like to get to know her before she goes home for her 18th birthday. At the dinner, the girls are greeted by a boy who looks a lot like Tony Reno, even with the same name. While Maria develops a crush on him, he seems to be attracted to Michelle. He gives Michelle an old wristwatch as an early birthday present, then leaves. Maria and Jules are then murdered.Meanwhile, Jon is pestered by Father Archer Roberts (W. Morgan Sheppard), a priest he came to when Lisa was murdered. He tells Jon his mother's death was not an accident.Verdict: An excellent sequel, and a different take to the original. Add it to your horror DVD collection without delay...

I love this movie. The bad jokes, the bad effects, the bad story line... what's not to love? Alexis Arquette is the perfect bad horror movie Satan. The movie is great if you want a good laugh. I have forever had the theme from speed racer linked to this movie. Who didn't love the adorable gardner. I am an avid watcher of old horror movies and if you like those then you should definitely check this out. It has the same vibe as most horror movies from the 70's and into the 80's but they had better visual effects. Although by todays standards they're pretty bad. But that's all part of the enjoyment of it. This isn't just a movie. It's an experience. I haven't been able to find this movie anywhere but if I do it will absolutely be a fixture of my collection.
