Vincent Perez replaces the late Brandon Lee as a murder victim resurrected from the dead to confront his killers in this shameless rehash of the darkly uncompromising original. Lacking the tragic resonance and strong performances of its Hammer-styled predecessor, director Tim Pope's sequel, again based on James O'Barr's cult Gothic comic strip, plays like an extended pop video and quickly becomes a rock-blasting, S&M-posturing endurance test. Ponderous, dull and mechanical, the only thing worth crowing about here is Iggy Pop's feisty performance.

Dire re-hash of orignal Cult Classic
This film is simply a very dire re-hash of the original.
The plot behind the main character is very weak, scenes are unnecessarily
padded out with utter drivel. And the acting well, for the whole length of the film I didn't see much of note.
Where the first film was dark and gothic this one is simply unclear and murky.
My girlfriend gave up after about 30 minutes, I stuck it out till the end but shouldn't of bothered as the director had obviously given up sometime before the disappointing finale came, which by the end couldn't have come quick enough. -
