"Book of shadows"

Just started watching this, expecting a reasonable horror film (3 stars in the TVtimes is a respectable score).

All seemed well, if a little insane, up until the Marilyn Manson soundtrack about 3 minutes after the film began. Enduring the torture I then continue to watch until I see some Mailyn manson wannabe lying on a gravestone.

And so I turn the TV off in disgust and watch Scream instead.

I guess the moral of this story is, 'Never watch horror sequels, unless they're directed by Wes Craven, in which case don't even watch the original".

Oh, the irony.

I brother saw the 1st film and said it was complete s****, so I not bothered seeing the the next film.

that girl with the wavey hair was pretty buff

If you had watched it all the way through you would have saw that it wasnt so bad.

Im still a bit confused as to what actually happened though.

Here name is Erica Leerhsen and she is 26 years old. There is a fan site about her here: http://membres.lycos.fr/erical/index.html

It was crap. I'm ashamed to say I bought this on DVD when it came out. However, there is an absolutely brilliant mock documentary on the disc which was about 10 million times better than the film. Really good.

Nothing ever made sense, especially that crap about the owl crashing through the window.

Apparently the power of ERSEVER was on the DVD, did that actually clear anything up Snuggly or was it just something else to confuse us.

I actually thought it was pretty good, far better than the first one and I'll be getting the DVD soon :D

No, it's just rubbish, it makes no sense whatsoever. If you didn't already work it out, ERSREVER is REVERSE backwards and pretty much means nothing. At least, it doesn't explain why the film sucks.

And if you think that it's better than the first film, you're seriously misguided young padawan. The DVD might almost be worth buying if you can get it on the cheap for the excellent documentary.
