It's a modern classic if you ask me. Have a look at Part 3 for more fun. They're in different leagues, but if you're a fan you'll most like enjoy the ride. Part 2 is a real stinker, though, even by my tolerances.

Definately worth a rental.

I just finished watching this movie. Liked it so much, I watched the extras as well. I've owned this dvd for several months now and can not believe I've been missing out on a great movie.
I was going to ask about Pt. 2, but it seems you guys have answered my Q.
Definitely going to check out Pt. 3 though.
If you haven't seen it, check it out!!

Full Tilt Boogie is one of the best extra features released on the DVD format. (I'm assuming we're referring to the Collector's Edition here.) I really liked the use of surrounds in the sound mix. When the bats swarm around outside the bar, it just sounds great.

I have to say that I've heard a lot of good things about part 3 but I did NOT enjoy it very much. It seemed like the typical B horror movie but not as fun as the classic B horror films.

Fun film, but the sequels are sh*t - typical straight-to-video nonsense with zero likeable characters, terrible acting, ridiculous plotting and poor special effects. And not a single new idea.
It was obvious to me that in part 2 the makers tried to hide their lack of knowledge about effective filmmaking by using far too much self-aware, over-the-top camera trickery that would make even Sam Raimi cringe.

Guess I'll have to check out #3, as well as the extras on #1. I saw the first one in the theater and loved it but was severely disappointed by #2. I wasn't expecting greatness - even mediocrity would have been fine! But no, only non-stop lameness was to be found.
It will also be nice to see #1 again but without the annoying comments supplied by the stupid girl behind me in the theater. "Ooh, this is scary. Oh God, I hate snakes," etc.

As much as I loved the original I just didn't think part 2 & 3 were neccessary or fun. BUT i did buy the box set. Why? No clue really. I just like having films in sets. 
Full Tilt Boogie is great and I'm so glad it wasn't left behind at release like I heard it was going to be. I sweated it out that Tuesday cause seemed like 50% of the sites said the set included it and 50% said that it wasn't there. Great documentary!!
