Longhornjok: Yeah and y'all thought I didn't have no cultcher in me! I saw this today and thought it was pretty good. I admit I like the horror film genre, so I saw the first one, too. I thought that one had a great opening 30 minutes or so, and then fell apart. This one doesn't break any new ground, but delivers some nice scares, some laughs, and way too much jawin' about sticking together and working as a team and not making people who are different feel like outcasts and other adages which I guess are meant to give the killings and maimings some sort of socially redeeming value. For you film buffs, I would say the opening sequence is one of the best scenes in the film, so don't be late if you go. It is also beautifully shot, well-scored (although it pounds you over the head at times), and features a nice performance from Ray Wise (aka the guy who played Laura Palmer's dad in "Twin Peaks" back in the day).
P.S. If you haven't read about it, the set-up in this one is that the "boogey-man" is stalking a schoolbus filled with high school ball players returning from their state championship win. With that in mind, here was my favorite review from rottentomatoes.com: "If you ever wanted to see a monster eat the cast from Varsity Blues, this is your movie." -- Dan Fazio, CITYSEARCH
