Review: It's not that Night of the Demons 2 is all that original, or, in fact, all that good, but the fact that it was a true 80s slasher flick that was released in the middle of slasher-less 1994 that made it so cool.
Angela's party in the first movie has become legendary in the area around Hull House, including St. Rita's Academy, a Catholic boarding school where "troubled" kids go to learn discipline and respect. The kids there are hellbent on screwing with things they don't quite understand (like, say, demons!), and a group of teens head out to Hull House for a Halloween party. While there, Linnea Quigly's infamous lipstick reappears, and the teens escort the possessed artifact across the border of the Hull House property, thereby bringing the evil back to the school. All hell breaks loose at the Halloween dance, and Angela returns in glory.
There's some really good gory stuff here (the first scene is deliciously gratuitous), some good blatant nudity, and some really funny, lame stuff (there's a character whose name is "Z-Boy"...nuff said). Oh, and we can't forget the Rambo-like head sister, who goes after the demons with Nunchuk-like rosaries and water guns filled with holy water.
Not as much fun as the first film, but still darn good.
Trivia: It seems really hard for me to believe, but Mimi Kinkade once again reprises the role of Angela (it's hard to believe for me because she looks so much different in this one--just see for yourself). However, now she prefers to be called by the more proffessional name of "Amelia."
