Reception

Writing in Entertainment Weekly, J. R. Taylor rated it C− and wrote that the film recycles the plot from the first film, though he praised Metzler as "one of the more interesting genre guys around". Michael Weldon, author of The Psychotronic Video Guide, called it "an almost plotless, sometimes funny comedy sequel".
