Hah! I’ve also been thinking to watch the sequel for quite some time but have not yet mustered the courage.

haha tbh honest there is no Pierce Brosnan in no 2 so chances are thin.

this is actually based on a steven king short story/novel.

and i think steven king got super upset when he saw what happened to his story

Saw the sequel in the theater. By far the best part is the beginning, where they replay the end of the first movie. ACCESS DENIED ACCESS DENIED
did the sequel get a theatrical release? I am surprised.
Yeah, it felt very much like watching a straight-to-video movie on the big screen.
