Thought it was a hideous follow up.

That being said - I don't think the original 'NOES' has held up well over the years although it does have a few creepy scenes.

Enjoyed '3' though.

The protagonist was such an uninteresting character IMO and hard to root for (like the red headed chick in later sequels) - it's different though - when was the last time a slasher flick had a male as the lead Protagonist. I guess one could argue the F13th remake.....

As a sequel, to what could be perhaps be considered a flawed but still effective and creepy original, I found it's virtues outweighed it's weaknesses. It was still original in it's own right and I certainly didn't find Mark Patton as Jesse, or Robert Rustler as Grady hideous.....far from it. This is only from the perception of a gay guy though and I liked the subtext. Compared to Part 3 though, which was more of a direct sequel or tie in to the first, it was pretty average. Not as bad as Part 5 though.
