Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The Sometimes They Come Back series of made-for-cable-TV movies proceed from a common idea, lifted from a short story of the same name by Stephen King. Something happened in our protagonist's past, a challenge or crucial test of courage or resolve that he couldn't meet, maybe because of immaturity or some inner defect. Now, usually through a supernatural agency, preferably of satanic origin, that threat from the past that's been haunting our hero all these years has returned to give him another shot at it. Or to force him to deal with it directly. That's pretty much how it plays out in the first film and the second, Sometimes They Come Back... Again. Now comes the third variation, More. But it's really Less. The setting is Antarctica, Ice Station Erebus, where a CIA outpost is experiencing high casualties from an unknown source. In drop a couple of soldiers, one of whom, our hero Captain Sam Cage, turns out to be the target of the piece, whose past is at the center of the present deaths. Nothing really makes much sense here, including the action-packed ending that will have you saying things like, "Why did that work?" and "The babe who's bathed in white light is named Mary, I get it! But why is she dressed for a feminine hygiene commercial?" --Jim Gay

3.0 out of 5 stars It's The Thing from Hell instead of Another World., May 31, 2002

By	Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Loosely connected sequel to Sometimes They Come Back and Sometimes They Come Back Again plays the Thing from Another World game as a military rescue team (of only two people!?!) is dispatched to an Antartic drilling station. Seems the miners broke through to hell...and something wants out. For low budget schlock this plays fairly well, no real surprises, but director Daniel Zelik Berk manages to craft an eerie moment or two amongst all the to be expected satanic hokum.

3.0 out of 5 stars ARCTIC ABSURDITIES, January 2, 2004

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sometimes They Come Back for More [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie has to have some of the worst outside snow scenes in cinematic history---you can't tell anything what's going on. Inside, things are not a whole lot better, but this thriller does have some unexpected plot twists, including one with Max Perlich who portrays the resident pain in the neck. Clayton Rohner in the lead tries hard, but can't overcome the script's many discrepancies. Emmy-winner Faith Ford looks completely lost in her role as Jennifer, the doctor, and Chase Masterson as Rohner's sidekick gives her Sigourney Weaver imitation. Damian Chapa as Schilling possesses a nasty smarm that belies his good looks.
Not a total waste, but you might want to rent it in lieu of buying.

sometimes they come back was a classic horror movie but with a sense of style that makes you question wether its just a horror or somthing else. it ended and it ended well, king wrote no sequels. now pet cemetary 2 was good and all but whats with the sequels. make a good movie and let it be. dont start adding sequels till the ideas just stupid.
