Goofs

At 7 minutes into the movie, where Kimberly's Suburban is blinking the Check Engine light on the dash - first, the light will flash only in case of a serious malfunction of the engine, such as a spark plug misfiring, which requires immediate attention. Losing transmission fluid is not an engine problem, and in fact the transmission overdrive indicator would blink, indicating a transmission problem. Two, the Check Engine light never has a beep associated with the light.

Creepier, gorier and better put together than the first

I was apprehensive when I didn't Devon Sawa in the credits or this movie, but then again, this film didn't really need him. This wasn't a sequel in the purest sense, but the film makers created methods to link all of the new characters to the old ones, creating a flow which wasn't too jarring. Unfortunately, the dialogue was the only real stinker in this film. The pretentiousness, the obviousness and the downright hokiness that came out of the mouths of the characters really detracted from the tension, turning their performances into a bunch of acting class rejects. But I digress. The only thing people are looking for is how Death will get the new set of escape artists. The sheer surprise and execution of the executions made me jump and crawl. In such a desensitized world we live in, being able to jump out of my seat means this film is a winner.
