I was expecting a really sleazy and corny slasher, with some nasty death scenes. A trashy, shamefully exploitative bit of fun.

But it bored me. The sex was pretty stupid and the gore was okay in places but too cartoony and didn't fit in with the style of the rest of the film. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, really, unless you are a die-hard fan of this Japanese stuff, and if you are - each to his own(!)

I found this very disappointing.

It is vastly inferior to the first, but the most annoying thing is that there was so much potential in the plot and story that there is in there. This could have been a really chilling and stylish horror film. Instead I just found it annoying and rather boring. I found myself waiting for the next death scene and not wanting to take any interest in the plot or characters!

There isn't much in the way of story-line, but you can't deny that there is a lot of style in this film. Admittedly it isn't an amazing and highly intelligent one, but it IS there(!) Clearly directly influenced by many other (superior) horror directors, like Argento for example.

However, it isn't painful or anything to sit through. There are a few decent bits of gore. And some, dare I say "clever" death scenes.>
