976-EVIL 2: The Astral Factor

Spike returns in this film to a new town that also has people who dial 976-EVIL for their evil "horrorscopes." I heard a lot of bad stuff about this sequel, but I was somewhat pleasently surpried. I had a decent body count, creative death scenes, cool effects (for the most part at least) and decent characters. All in all, 3.5 out of 5.

Characters:

• Robin: College girl who use to work for Mr. Grubeck and is now being persued by him.
• Mr. Grubeck: Principal or something along those lines. Sells his soul to the devil over the phone and can now walk through walls and stuff.
• Spike: The dude from the first one who falls for Robin and once again gets stalked by the 976-Evil hotline. Dies in an explosion.
• Paula: Robin's friend who had a grunge thing going on. She ends up in a cross between "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Night of the Living Dead." Stabbed with a spade by a zombie child.
• Laurie: Hot chic killed early on. Wears a wet tank top. Nice. Impaled on a giant spike thing.
• Turrell: Drunk janitor who is a witness to a murder and explodes when hit by a semi.
• Lawlor: Hot lawyer chic who gets ran off the road.

• Body Count: 8
• Weapons Used: A giant spike, floating guns, frozzen food, and oven, books, a spade, a gun, explosives, and a semi.
• Breast Shots: 1
• Moments where characters are mysteriously unable to run from certain death: 2
• Ominous thunderstorms: 0
• Explosions: 2

Random Thoughts and Things Learned

• Short white t-shirts should not be worn in the shower. Wait... what am I saying?!
• Janitors are always alcoholics.
• Floating guns are easy to trick.
• Charging a ghost on a motorcycle with explosives in your hand is not the best way to handle the situation.
