B P @Bradster69 Sep 7, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 16, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 12, 2023 More interested in peeping Toms and horny kids to remember to scare. See more russell h @RT85733992 May 22, 2021 Way worse than the first one. Arquette's character was pretty entertaining but the acting overall was horrible. It models itself after the first one but makes it way dumber. I kept finding myself missing the punk kids from the first movie. See more michael d @RT08912548 Mar 24, 2021 Bizarre as hell and a bit sleazy but that repetitive ending really kills the vibe. See more Oct 15, 2020 Oof! I don't know who thought this was a good idea... It's ludicrous, filled with bottom barrel effects and i don't know who thought Alexis Arquette could play a menacing demon, but they were wrong. Dead wrong! See more Read all reviews
