Viewing Notes

With the notable exception of Holly Fields in the leading role, this film doesn’t have nearly as much going for it as the original did. The original director and effects team are both missing from this effort and there’s a noticeable drop off in the use of practical effects, probably due to a tighter budget. Here’s hoping the next two sequels raise the bar a little.
