This is another one of those movies I like to see once a year or so. I enjoy Carter, played by Mark Kinsey Stephenson. He adds an interesting air to the movie. He plays the part of an intelligent student at Miskatonic University who uncovers the presence of a demon.
This movie is done well. The photography, dialogue, and acting make this a fun flick. It doesn't hurt the movie to have Maria Ford in it also.
The DVD is in a full frame format. The DVD quality is good, both audio and video. Now if they would only put "The Unnamable" on DVD too, to complete the package.

This quick review comes from someone who likes "Night of the Demons", "Killer Party", "Prom Night 2" etc... Just so you know what type of taste I have in horror movies.

This sequal was OUTSTANDING!!!!It follows thru from the 1st movie & even explains how the creature became the creature...Most sequal's are dumb & boring, however, this one is one of the great follow-ups...The ending is kind of sad, however, the entire movie will keep you on your toes through out...A MUST have for any horror fan...

Well, it was much better than the original, but literally had nothing to do with "The Last Statement of Randolf Carter', which it claimed to be.

Nonetheless, it was a Lovecraft based film, so therefore I HAD TO watch it Nor was I disapointed. It had the excellent acting of John Rys-Davies (you know, the axe-slinging dwarf in the Lord of the Rings Movies), and the gorgeous Maria Ford (naked scene), and even Julie Strain! So, we have nudity, the Necronomicon, pretty good acting (for the most part), and demons?!?!? COOL!

Add it to your collections, HPL fans!

Go on.

Do it!

Two cloven hooves up!

This movie is the sequel to H.P. Lovecraft's The Unnamable and is not as fun. That film was based upon the H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name. I wish THAT film was available on DVD. It involves a haunted house in which resides a creature that is the half-human, half demon daughter born to a warlock and his wife two hundred years ago. Long after their death, she has continued to reside in the house which is not far from a local college. Get the picture? Macho college kids, haunted house, making out with young women, awesome-looking scarey monster who likes to rip hearts out doing battle with nerdy, bookish heroes familiar with local legend and black magic.

The story of the sequel starts immediately after the conculsion of the the original which itself was a "B" movie but with a number of chuckles and quirky characters (played by quirky actors who, just as the film's director, did not take themselves too seriously).

Despite having the same cast and director, there are few chuckles in this sequel and it loses some of the charm of the first because it was darker and the actors and director apparently intended this to be more serious. The monster isn't quite as cool as she was in the first film but is probably the highlight of the movie.

If you are a fan of the first film, you'll probably like this one. But the first film while, not a great film, is actually one of my favorite horror films...mostly because the monster is so cool-looking.

Ahh nothing more enjoyable then the golden years of hilarious 90's B horror on a nice quiet evening. Already being our favorite decade of laughable horror, The Unnamable II has made a name on our list of classics. Right from the opening scene you just get that feeling of "oh yeah this one's got it" as most of the time period contain. It came with all the goods including a sweet cheaply made creature, hilarious acting coupled with even worse dialogue, and some of the greatest special effects we've seen since Grim.

The Unnamable revolves around a girl that had been possessed by a demon for quite some time dwelling in the underground. Because this demon is so bad a** they decided there nothing good enough to name it by (hence the title). Once some murders take place near a college campus a few of the students (who were way too old to be students) decided to try and crack the case only to unleash the beast in hilarious fashion. Once they put the entire universe at risk their ring leader and his awesome sweater must take the demon out and finish him.

After watching this one we have yet again found another 90's classic to throw up on the board. In no way is it good by conventional means but for us it worked just fine. Maybe we're a bit bias because we happen to love the 90's flicks but can't see this one not being enjoyed by B horror lover's out there. It's got enough going for it making it worth one watch for sure. There were even a few jumps, which may have been inspired by a few drinks, where the demon pops out of nowhere hissing like a cat. Mmmm that sounds good..I'll have that.

I'm glad I found this before it was totally out of print. It's fairly close to the source material (the book). I enjoy cheesy flicks very much, and this one fills the need. Now I only wish I could find part 1 (not the vhs).

To all those looking for The Unnamable on DVD, Anchor Bay have released them both in the UK as a set (still available from amazon.co.uk when last I looked), but you'll need a region 2 and PAL setup to view them.
Personally I thought they were very good (especially when watched back-to-back as one movie spread across two disks).

The first Unnamable movie is pretty generic, but so are a lot of H.P. Lovecraft's fiction. These generic horror stories became the cornerstone of modern horror. The horror film genre as a whole is cheesey, with direct to video guilty pleasures doing it for me. Mainstream horror released in American theaters are watered down for mass audiences. The remakes of both Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were horrible, boring blasphemes that made both Lucio Fulci and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels seem good. Where were these newer fans when I was watching R rated horror in my teensage years? That being said, this is a movie best appreciated by the real fans, not critics or millenium generation wannabes. I prefer the first Unnamable movie, but I also like it's sequel.

I never saw the first unnamable but i wanted to give this one a chance anyway cause it sounded interesting.the movie is not all bad but it couldve been better then the final product.the demon looks good though i must saw and it had two or three moments of cheap pop up scares,which are good.the bllod and gore are decent but some kills you dont get to really see(like the lady cop toward the end)and i think thats a waste.the plot is ok but the movie drags in some places.i would say rent but that would cost around six dollars and i got a copy on amazon for only three so if your courious id say buy a cheap used copy.i hear the first one was better so im hoping they put it on dvd one day.a few of the kills were gory and thats always a plus.

This movie is good it's a keeper BUT if you can find pt.1 THAT ONE IS EVEN BETTER.
