If I thought the original was terrible, 976-EVIL II is way worse.
I fail to understand why there's a sequel since the other one barely made bank. Was the demand so great? In the words of
director Jim Wynorski: "I always wanted to make a sequel only if the previous film was bad. There wasn't much point to a
sequel if the previous release was really great. I wanted to make a sequel that was better than the first one."
Um, okay....that's strange logic. Then, he said of 976-EVIL II, "I hate that film...it was tough to make. I was
handed a script, and I didn't think it was very good." Then, why did he do it? "I wanted the money and the experience." Um,
okay...got it. Unsurprisingly, he ended up directing porn films...lots of them.
Of the original cast, only Patrick O'Bryan comes back, and it'll be the last of his brief acting career. On the other hand,
it's certainly a long fall for Brigitte Nielsen, marking the end of her cinema relevance after appearing opposite Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Eddie Murphy in high-profile films from 1985 to 1987.
If there's anything strange, it's the black-and-white combination of
It's a Wonderful Life and
Night of the Living Dead. I just never thought of them this way. The
filmmakers got away with it because both classic pictures were in the public domain during 1991. Other than that, the
rest of the way is nothing but people getting killed while giving a life support to the threadbared storyline.
All in all, beware of films with low production values like 976-EVIL II because you'll get what you deserve: a
fucking cheap cinema experience.
