This is a biased review, I was fascinated with the first one and respect it due to the life that was taken in making it. The love Eric has for Shelly in the first one was so intense, you could feel the love that resurrected him, plus this movie explained everything that was going on, the first one he just figured it out as it was happening to him. I was kind of happy it was bad because I didn't want anyone to forget how good the first one was! Rip Brandon Lee
