A prime example of 1980s b flick horror done right. You don't find movies like this anymore, at least not with the budget they have to work with here. While lower budget compared to Hollywood blockbusters it's far above the shot on digital video with shoddy computer effects we generally see today. Likable characters, well done make up effects, nudity, twists and effectively creepy moments. Michael Ironside delivers his usual strong performance and the main cast in general are stronger than what you may have come to expect from this type of flick. There are obvious "homages" to Carrie but not to the point of embarrassing ripoff levels. It's far more interesting and thrilling than the first film and it's easily the best of the franchise (including the remake of the first film). A must watch for fans of the low budget 80s horror genre.
