I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I come down on the side of this movie is a fun time-waster, but maybe my age is showing in that I noticed in three pages of comments about this film (apparently the Carmen Electra cover had a lot to do with that) No One has mentioned the ton of references to the old William Asher/AIP Beach Movies -- starting with Frankie & Dee - The Vampire "Moondoggie" AKA "Count Eric Von Zipper" (that was MY biggest laff watching this) - The Big Kahuna actually hearkens back to Gidget.Carmen does show skin but not as much as any male viewer would like. Daisy Torme looks great in a bikini so why are most of her jobs voice work? No justice in my world.

I bought this movie at one of those superstore places for a whole dollar. It is okay, but I agree the cover is misleading just like the trailers for Cabin Fever. It would be a good movie to watch at a party where no one is really paying attention to it. Very campy and more funny than scary. But other than that it was worth the buck. Carmen Electra does a fair job. The cover art is far more appealing than the movie. What else is there to say? Except don't rent it or buy it if it is more than a few bucks. And If you are ready to laugh. The music does not go with the movie. But other than that it is just a fun movie and they are banking off the re-release because of Carmen and Dave's Divorce.

I thought that this was a pretty good movie. I rented it expecting something sleazy but got a terrific movie with a good hidden meaning. Once you get passed the cover and know that your not going to get a T&A flick it is great. I thought it was a good coming of age film and I liked what was really being said. I defiantly think that the producer has some definite potential to make some more quality films. It took me watching it twice to appreciate it but it was worth it, but with the cover that was slapped on it I can understand how it might be misleading. So I suggest you give it a try.

This movie was horrible, a definite 2. The movie had almost no redeeming value whatsoever, and I mean none. Obviously I did not rent this thing expecting to see academy award winning performances so that's one. I am also a fan of occult type movies as well as many others, and in particular vampires, that's two. And three it was no coincidence that Carmen Electra was on the cover and I rented it, that's three. I say these to let you know that I have good taste but I rented the movie for some campy fun, I was slumming as far as movie rentals go. This is important to know because when I say this movie was bad I am considering it from all angles. It was worthless in any respect; it was just cheap and ridiculous. It failed to be comedic, dramatic, scary, or even fun in that B movie sense. And let me add this for the fellas, NO NUDITY! Believe me Carmen Electra on the cover is a clever marketing ploy, she's barely in it, and I don't mean barely as in naked, let me assure you. The movie is a constant let down with terrible characters, no plot development, and horrible punch lines. The plot suddenly by about half way through became a comedy and this didn't work either. This movie was the worst I've seen in a long time and believe me that's bad. The only thing that saved this movie from a 1 was the fact that by switching suddenly to an attempt at comedy, the director at least showed that, while his attempt was sad, he had a conscious. He realized he was making something so horrible that the least he could do for the viewer was to try and make it laughable (though he failed).
