An ambitious sequel, NIGHT 2 shifts back and forth from a Halloween dance at a Catholic school to further antics at Hull House. Several students decide to ditch the school party and raise the roof at Hull House instead. Big mistake. Angela is back, and performs yet another slithery dance (remember that the actress was a ballet dancer). This time around, we have a nun and a priest to add to the merriment, and in fact the nun steals almost every scene she is in. The special effects are still pretty dreadful, but the filmmakers have upped the gore quotient as well as the laughs, which were pretty much nonexistent in the original. The big battle with Angela at the end is the movie's one clever bit of special effects, and well worth the wait. There was a huge lag between the original and this first sequel, and one can see the influence of several bigger-budget horror flicks on NIGHT 2, most notably FRIGHT NIGHT.
