A completely different experience than the original.
It takes close to 40 minutes to kick-start this one and it's atmosphere, and what follows is a hurried, patchy effort to recreate the mood and pacing of the first film. The scenes which added to the horror in the original have been redone again in this one, but they don't induce any horror/terror in the least bit.
I glanced at the clock quite a few number of times, which usually means I was waiting for it to be over. Quite a shame really, when a needless, unnecessary sequel is made to cash in on the success of the original.
Avoid. (you too, Chronogrl)
