This film suffers from the fact that the two leads from the first film don't really get any screen time together.

It was just okay. It would have been nice to have a really creepy or sadistic antagonist in this one. I didn't feel that the tall blonde man was that scary and Zala was just an old man. I don't know, I guess this movie just wasn't my cup of tea.

A sequência é tão boa quanto o original. Já estou na expectativa do próximo! (e de ler os livros, é claro...)
