- 40EmpireEmpireNever quite as witty as it should be.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA fairly silly and ultra-gory schlocker/shocker.
- 30Film ThreatRon WellsFilm ThreatRon WellsIt lacks humor. Unlike "Scream", this film is more of a horror-drama, with everybody taking themselves way too seriously.
- 30The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinThere's gore aplenty here, but precious little suspense or terror.
- 30Washington PostStephen HunterWashington PostStephen HunterMore in the dumb and dumber tradition of "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" sequels.
- 25Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAssembles the building blocks of idiot-proof slasher movies: Stings, Snicker-Snacks, false alarms and point-of-view baits-and-switches.
- 25ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliIf there's a blessing, it's that the sequel isn't appreciably worse than the original - but that's slim praise considering how bad the first one was.
- 25San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamSan Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamIt's standard slasher fare but has its moments.
- 25San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonSan Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonThe best that can be said about this film is that it's watchable, and that's not the way it could or should be.
- 0Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovYou want REAL terror? If this second outing proves profitable, we'll be looking at Yet Again I Recall the Summer Before the Summer Before Last. Now that's scary.
