MARK OF THE DEVIL 2 is not a horrible film - it just doesn't bring anything to the table that wasn't already done, and done better, in the first film. Gone are the interesting characters and story lines, MARK 2 is an average tale of "witchery" and witch-hunting gone wrong...
The inquisition this time focuses their evil-eye on a nunnery and in particular one young nun that they feel has the devil in her. A noble-woman is caught up in the mix when her son is accused of killing one of the inquisitors during a failed rescue attempt by her husband (who is also killed) when they see a woman being tortured at the hands of the inquisitors. A lot of finger-pointing and some torturing abound until the relatively lack-luster conclusion...
Worth a look to serious exploit completists, but honestly - there's nothing much going for MARK OF THE DEVIL 2. Udo Kier is nowhere to be found, though the ugly-guy from the first one is still here, which was good to see. The torture scenes are relatively tame and nothing to write home about either. Not the worst thing I've seen, but I can't really give it more than a very average rating due to the lack of any originality or any noteworthy scenes...5/10
