Unneeded (and unwanted) sequel to Brian De Palma's excellent 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's novel this has an all-new telekinetic teenager in Rachel (Emily Bergl) who after enduring the suicide of her best friend and being terrorized by the juvenile jock football team and their girlfriends quite literally gets nasty and uses her powers for revenge.

And here we have a mean-spirited sequel with a boring (and quite unrealistic) build-up that trys to get by on a lame copycat plot swiped in parts for the original. Bergl is nowhere near as "ugly" as they try and make her, in fact she's oddly attractive, and no reasons are given for her treatment at any time where in part one at least their were motifs for the abuse.

Amy Irving reprises her role only to be a throwaway character (and give the filmmakers a chance for pointless flashbacks). This only starts to roll in the gore-soaked finale but it's a case of too little much too late.
