“When you compare this movie to its predecessor, which got released 11 years before this one, youu0026#39;ll have to conclude that this movie is not a better than its predecessor because of the reason that itu0026#39;s stories all are slightly weaker ones.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAgain, just like its predecessor, this movie tells 3 different, unrelated stories that somehow all involve the supernatural. What they have in common is that in all 3 stories the main characters is being played by the same actress. In u0026quot;Trilogy of Terroru0026quot; this was Karen Black, in u0026quot;Trilogy of Terror IIu0026quot; its Lysette Anthony. She of course is not as great as Karen Black, though its fun to see her playing 3 totally different characters in each story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is more an horror movie than its predecessor was. All of the stories this time feature horror elements. Again, the last story of the movie features the Zuni doll, which also was the highlight of the first movie. Perhaps this is also the reason why itu0026#39;s named u0026quot;Trilogy of Terror IIu0026quot;? Fore otherwise this movie of course has little to nothing to do with the first movie that got made 11 years(!) before this one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNone of the stories are extremely well written or anything and they all got based on different short stories. The movie is longer than u0026quot;Trilogy of Terroru0026quot; and every story this time is about 30 minutes long instead of 20-something minutes. That doesnu0026#39;t really mean though that the stories are well layered or anything like that. At times they are even a bit dragging, which causes them to be a bit uneven in parts. The build up to the eventual horror often takes too long, which makes the movie itself needlessly long as well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course these type of movies are never dull for the lovers of the genre. Dan Curtis is obviously a director with a love for the genre and that passion really shows on the screen at certain points.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e6/10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ehttp://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/”
