Reviews:
“976-EVIL II is more entertaining than its predecessor. Neither are particularly great films and this one is rife with flaws in logic, but infamous director Jim Wynorski takes the reigns from Englund and delivers a film that just doesn’t give a damn to be anything but barely competent whenever there’s downtime between its death sequences.” Oh, the Horror!
“A lot of people have this misguided notion that the 1980s ended when the calendar flipped over to 1990. However, as 976-EVIL 2 constantly points out, the spirit of the 1980s burned bright well into the ’90s. The idea that the cultural temperament of a particular era changes overnight is ridiculous.” House of Self Indulgence
