the song Julian Cope's Spacehopper and it really caught my attention and got me in a silly mood. The song is probably this film's equivilant of the first's PartyTime sequence.Some might call it lame, but they're just being too cynical. This is a good sequel in most respects and a lot of fun to watch. Like the first, it's dated in many respects but it's still a load of fun.

The Blob, respectively.The story is pretty basic and that's fine cuz we don't need twist endings or extensive plot devices here, just some good laughs, good direction by Ken Wiederhorn Shock Waves and well designed zombies by Kenny Myers. Memorable zombies for that matter.As for the DVD cut, if you know how to switch back and forth b/w the french language track whenever there's no dialogue for a while, do it cuz it contains the original J. Peter Robinson score, which is excellent and one of the main reasons why this movie has a fan base to begin with. Maybe WB will issue out a version that has the original on the English language track! Ironically, even Wiederhorn's commentary track mentions that the new score for the DVD is sub-par. Frankly, it sucks compared to the original. Despite this cut, I still have high regard for this film and will be on the lookout for a better version one day we can all hope, right? It's interesting to note that Robinson and D.P. Robert Elswit have gone on to major Hollywood productions and it's easy to see why judging by their work here.This is a surprise sleeper from 1988, probably the best year out of the 1980s for horror films Killer Klowns, The Blob, ROTLD II, Halloween 4, F-13 Part VII, The Brain, Pumpkinhead, Phantasm II, Nightmare 4, Child's Play, just to name a few . With horror films like these, I'm glad I was 7 yrs. old in 1988, lol!! This one is miles ahead of the original only cuz the tone seems darker and much more serious in the original, even though it's essentially a spoof. This one is just that- a horror comedy!! almost in league with Shaun of the Dead for horror comedy stature . Some light comedy, some light, yet entertaining horror.Highly recommended! * * * *

to see in this one the zombies don't sprint! And does Joey's girlfriend get some kind of sexual pleasure from letting him eat her brains? Bizarre! Shame that Part 3 took away the comedy because that one really sucked! C'mon, let's have a Part 4 like this one...more of the same pleeeeeeeease!!! 10/10

Phillip Bruns is hilarious as the Doc. Sure it may be a watered down version of the original, however for some reason i enjoyed it a tiny bit more then the original, and the finale was great, plus i actually found all the characters to be likable!. I loved this sequel!, it was hilarious and extremely entertaining, and i say it's a must see!. The Direction is great!.Ken Wiederhorn does a great job here, with, excellent camera work, great angles adding some creepy atmosphere sometimes , and keeping the film at a very fast pace!. There is some gore. We get, Gory corpses,Severed head,severed limbs,gunshot wounds,body split in half,brain smacking,fist through the face with goo coming out,impaling,and brains on the ground, Decent. The Acting is a lot of fun!. Michael Kenworthy actually does good job as the Kid, and didn't get on my nerves once good job!. Thom Mathews gives another memorable performance, here, and he cracked me up! Matthews rules! same performance as the 1st but it's more then welcome!. James Karen is extremely hilarious here, and had me laughing throughout the film, and he had great chemistry with Thom Matthews!. Suzanne Snyder was hot and did her job well!. Marsha Dietlein is great as the sister,she was damn hot and i really liked her, she also had good chemistry with Dana Ashbrook!. Dana Ashbrook is good here i liked him. Thor Van Lingen does a good job as the trouble maker Billy and was quite funny actually. Phillip Bruns is great as the Doc!. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall a must see!. **** out of 5

like we been her before, you, me.. Them!" I think this sequel is very loyal to the original film, it brought back a lot of the things that made part 1 great. Like the rock music, the graveyard sequences, the comedy elements and of course the brain-eating. Unlike the other sequels that had barley any of this stuff. The effects are great to, the make up on the zombies are great and the part were one of them is blown in half with a shotgun is a very memorable and funny scene. If like old-school zombies and want a movie with a 80's/retro feeling then watch this one.

finger.Those two parts that really made me laugh got me to see this movie to see those parts again to cheer me up.And the plot were the kid is always right make me see the movies because when they see it for themselves then they were wrong which is a bit funny.This classical movie will live on and on.

Romero-style zombie film; because it's a slapstick movie but unlike in other films of this kind from this time period, the humor doesn't come from extreme gross-out moments. It comes from the attention to details such as a zombie needing to put its glasses on when it rises from the grave; or from a zombie walking around with a jar of brains like it's a glass of beer. It comes from the pause between asking a zombie who the president is and his gruff, "Harry Truman?" I loved it. If you have any sense of giddiness when you are channel surfing and come across one of the '80s beloved horror comedies, you will too.

just about as many laughs and it helps to have a seemingly quite larger budget to work with as well as advances in effects. Great fun viewing, much recommended to anyone who likes horror. 8/10 Not quite as original as the original but since that there was less to be original about within the genre.
