Reviews

Kevin Thomas

Suspenseful entertainment -- but it's also a suitably chilling cautionary tale.

Kirk Honeycutt

Where the first film was something of a teen horror film, the follow-up, again from writer-director Stefan Ruzowitzky, is more of an unintentional comedy.

Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

By the time we get to an unintentionally hilarious hospital-hall chase scene and an overblown O.R. climax, it's clear that Ruzowitzky hasn't quite the wit to match his flair.
