Reception
Variety said the script was "uneven" but "imaginative" and praised Fahey and especially Cox, who they called "terrific". They also praised Bryan England’s "cunning lensing", Virginia Lee’s production design, Michael Schweitzer’s editing, and Tim Truman’s score. Radio Times said it was an improvement on the first film "in regard to plot, if not in terms of casting, as the support team here is no substitute for the presence of Sean Young and Drew Barrymore in the original."
