A surprisingly great follow-up. This one feels like a completely different film, taking a new direction and innovates on the story so it doesn't feel same-y. It's less scary and the violence is significantly toned down, but it's much weirder and whimsical while still retaining that manic energy from the original. It strikes just the right balance of comedy and horror to me, with some added fun unique cast that are definitely interesting. With a bigger budget, you can see the upgrades in camera quality and most importantly the effects work, and I love the creativity on the creature designs. I very much enjoyed it.
better than the first one
Very tasteful sex scene at the end. -Dangerous Dave
Oh no
Frank Hennenlotter's first sequel to his cult '80s classic is a rather OTT follow up. Plenty of fun but not quite as much gore, has some top quality scenes though and a great ending ready for part 3..
