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.
