I watched this last night and have to say it was pretty much what I expected - not very good.

You are too kind. This has got to be one of the all time WORST sequels ever. I am surprised C. Thomas Howell agreed to appear. He must need the money badly.

If you are a fan of the original flick, don't bother.

I rented it and watched it last night.

It's one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life.

I can't hardly think of a single positive thing to say about it. After it was over, it was one of those times that you just sit back and say "Holy Lord, I can't believe I just spent money to watch what was just presented before me."

The bad thing about it, is that I got it for free (using my year long Blockbuster pass), and I still said the same thing.

If only I was a deformity so I could give it THREE thumbs down.

I'll post more in-depth comments soon, but for now, I'll leave you with this...

*SPOILERS*











The Jim Halsey character dies in the first 40 minutes leaving his g/f or wife or whatever alone to deal with the dasterdly Jake Busey. To make matter worse, the reason he's doing this **** is never explained. Early in the film, Jim tells Maggie (his g/f or wife) that he is SURE that this is the same guy from the first movie, only he looks nothing the same. At the end, Maggie has Jack tied up something like the guy did to the girl in the first movie, and he tells her that he isn't the same guy.

Before he can explain what he's doing this for, and he was about to, she just kills him.











*END SPOILERS*

...this film has no story, no plot, and not much of anything other than a headache inducing presence. It's one of the most anti-climatic, anti-worth-a-**** films, of all time. By this film even being produced, it hurts the original.

Ugh.

I'm glad I got the R2 2-disc special edition of The Hitcher instead of this.
