Needlessly fun little b horror sequel.

So i'm not really sure why we needed a somewhat sequel to Stan Winston's classic first film coming six years after the original. This one is helmed by Jeff Burr who directed "From a Whisper to a Scream", "Stepfather II", & "Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III". And Winston didn't even return to do effects. Instead it was done by Greg Nicotero and the crew at KNB EFX Group, and they pretty much redo Winston's original creature, but, much poorer this time around. There's a decent cast featuring "Hellraiser"'s Andrew Robinson as our star. Linnea Quigley shows up to, and Soleil Moon Frye aka Punky Brewster is here as one of the teens, and as for teens our main a-hole teen leader guy gets a much better death this time around then in the first. Matter a fact there's a lot of good kills here as Pumpkinhead just wrecks everyone. It's no where on the level of the first film, but, its a needlessly fun little b sequel regardless.

score 5/10
