Being a huge fan of the original, I was compelled to make my very first imdb review after watching this garbage. Here's just a few reasons why:
Whoever wrote this script (yup, didn't bother to check) shouldn't even write their name on stuff. This was truly terrible.... But IF you're gonna do it anyway, and IF you're gonna do a sequel, how about you watch the original first? Maybe, ya know, add to an existing plot line rather than create...whatever this is?
Glaring example: Spider was NOT a pledge. Ever. Just, bleh! SOOO many scenes depended on THIS offensive inaccuracy.
Speaking of, big round of applause for our returning cast? Uh, yeah, no. I get that there were "issues", but the 2 returning o.g.s should have been able to say "hey, that's not historically accurate, bin it!" but nah, instead let's just make 1 of them director and neither one of them has to be good in their role reprisals.
Notice I said 2? Several reviews say L. Quigley refused the role (she must have read the script), but iMDB trivia says she was NEVER ASKED to reprise the role of Spider... which leads us to Snake, and let's just walk right past all that without a glance, shall we? Either way, she's the winner here!
Bad movies have been a staple for soooo many quality actors and filmmakers to rise to the top. There's no hidden gem here, literally no talent was used in any aspect.
Bottom. Line. If you can get through the super unimaginative, abysmally acted, zero quality effects or edited first 40 minutes, and *finally* get to the IMP... you're treated with a hand puppet that looks like it was made a few decades ago in a summer camp by a kid who doesn't enjoy making art, thrown into a dusty corner of an attic (because, as this movie agrees, that's where you put things that you don't eeeeeever want found), and was used years later as a dusty reminder that it's nearly always impossible to recreate awesome. So.. get through that first 40 minutes, and you only have about 25 mins more to suffer through.
