Both the movies aren't classics for sure. The first movie was an underrated creepy movie. The sequel is not bad either. Even with all the problems, it is as entertaining as the first. So I need to give them the same rating.
Ami dolenz is beautiful and was one of the bright points of the movie. Unfortunately no nudity from her though. But there is enough of the sex appeal part. Obviously an explanation is given for her skimpy outfits towards the later part of the movie. It is a little hard to concentrate on the details of the movie when she wears those tiny shorts and tops. The men are also model type unlike the original where the guys were more regular looking. But they are adequate actors and there is not much cheesiness as we would expect.
There are some over the top deaths and scenes which are maybe not in tone with the original. The Mitch character seems to be somewhat of a superhuman with his lucky escapes and all. I liked the red herrings dropped in the middle. The twists are predictable but even then they are interesting to watch.
I don't think the atmosphere is built up as nicely as the first. But there are some interesting death scenes and the ending is better than the first.
The ending is a nice touch. One thing I do like about these movies is the lack of a corny "this isn't over yet" kind of an ending which is now cliché.
I am puzzled by the IMDb rating a little bit..
7/10
