“I thought the first movie of this series was a pretty mediocre effort all around, so my hopes were not high when I sat down to watch this sequel. To my surprise, for quite a while I thought that this movie was shaping up to be much better than the original movie. The production values are a lot better, for one thing. Also, the first half of the movie, with the new and old characters, is surprisingly engaging. It was a new angle and not simply copying the first movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, around the halfway point, the movie starts to fall apart and gets more tedious as it progresses. Thereu0026#39;s a lot less horror in this sequel than the first movie – in fact, the first real horror sequence only happens when more than half an hour of the running time has passed! The real problem is that the movie simply becomes boring and a tough slog to get through. Too bad, since writer/director Larry Cohen did have the stuff to make a better film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne last thing: u0026quot;It Lives Againu0026quot; was rated u0026quot;Ru0026quot;, while the first movie got a u0026quot;PGu0026quot; rating. Which I donu0026#39;t understand, because u0026quot;It Lives Againu0026quot; has no nudity, no sex, no foul language, and far less blood and horror than the first film!”
