I rented this video the day it was released (July 29). In the US at least it was released direct to video. I don't know about the rest of the world. I LOVED the first movie in 1987 and saw it 22 times at the movie thearter in town then bought the VHS (yep it was before DVD). I had to special order it through a video rental store and it was $80 but at least I OWNED it. Too much hotness in that movie what with Keifer Sutherland, Jason Patric and a few of the vampires as well. Anyway, when I found out they had done the sequel and that Corey Feldman was reprising his role as Edgar Frog I knew I had to see it regardless of how bad it was. I can't say the sequal was a good as the original but I will say that there were some really good lines that made me LOL...the first one was where the girl, Nicole, is told by her brother that she's a vampire, well a half-vampire because she drank Shane's blood, she lets out a piercing scream and says, "I don't want to be a vampire...I'm a vegetarian." I was very impresesd with the head vampire, Shane. He was very very cute and controlled the scenes he was in THEN I found out that he is Kiefer Sutherland's younger half-brother...talent runs in that family. There's more blood and guts in this one than in the original and it has an R rating for that reason (as well as a little more female toplessness than the first). All my vampire-friends need to see this movie even if just for the laughs. I will say, without giving the ending away, you need to watch through the first set of credits...there's a surprise cameo appearance. You will also note that the brother and sister have the same last name as Corey Haim and Jason Patric had in the first movie, Emerson...don't know if that's a coincidence or not.
Then, AFTER you watch the movie and see the surpise cameo, watch the special features for the two alternate endings. I won't say it's a GREAT movie but I will quote a comment I saw about it, "It don't suck" either. If any of you check it out let me know what you think.
