It is technically a sequel, but it doesnt even attempt to do justice to the original. Rogerebert

This uninspired version amounts to lukewarm sloppy seconds in comparison to the original film that made director John Carpenter a hot property. Variety

The result wont make any converts, but Jamie Lee Curtis is as good as ever. Time Out

Still, theres plenty of insight and fun to be had, so dont miss this one. IGN

And the story isnt the only aspect where continuity was maintained. ReelViews

Debra Hill and John Carpenter produced and wrote the screenplay, but this film is still a totally unnecessary and extremely poor sequel to the origina .. Tv Guide

The nursery is full, though, so I dont know where all those new mothers wandered off to.) Eric Ds Nider

The suspense is, for the most part, the best aspect of the sequel. Cinema Crazed

Does the worst thing any sequel can ever do: it retroactively taints the original and makes it less interesting. Antagony & Ecstasy
1.5
Rick Rosenthal, who directed this 1981 sequel, doesnt have Carpenters expansive, affectionate way with stereotypical characters, and without it theyre .. Chicago Reader

Its a rather solid sequel that carries on the legacy of its predecessor well and always delivered the scares for me as a kid. Dread Central
3.5
Any childhood favorite that is still a good deal of fun today is a movie worthy of some note. FEARnet
