This isn't a sequel of the first opus, but rather a remake of the main ideas of the Stephen King's short story: a childhood crime, a train tunnel, bad guys ghosts,....If you wonder what brings the talent of a chief cooker, well consider that with the same food, one has delivered a fine meal (first one) and the other has only done a cat food (for not say worse...)...Everything fails here: just watch the first 5 minutes, you'll understand... the following is in the same vein: no more nostalgia, no respect for the tradition (Demons enter church here!!!!!), no countryside flavor and no good casting with the so-called bad guys are more ridiculous than freaky....But, it's amazing to see how the Hollywood life can be... Begin your career in awful movies then go win 2 prestigious Oscars....So, be indulgent to yourself: skip it !!!!!

Jon Porter(Michael Gross)returns to his old hometown for his mother's funeral and is haunted by evil teenagers that were responsible for his sister's death 30 years earlier. He must get rid of the ghostly demons to protect his teenage daughter Michelle(Hilary Swank). Based on the conjuring of Stephen King and directed by Adam Grossman. My favorite scene is when Jon must cut off his own thumb in ritual to bringing a halt to the haunting. F/X are better than average in this hackneyed story.I found Alexis Arquette totally annoying. Also in the cast: Jennifer Aspen, Glen Beaudin and Jennifer Elise Cox. You may find this better than expected; although not out of the ordinary.

A Rather Average Movie after the Outstanding Original. The Three Ghosts are Back, and This Time, It's time to Terrorize Somebody New. Good Scares and Remarkable Acting make this Movie a Must See. Also, There is a High Amount of "Black Humor" Mixed in With the Gory Deaths. If you like Horror, You need to see this.

Sometimes They Come Back...Again is better than the original in some parts, but it is also worse. The flashbacks that appear throughout the movie are interesting and leak out information about the main character's past bit by bit. There are some good characters. My two favorites are the main villain, Tony (Alexis Arquette) who is very creepy, and Father Archer Roberts, a mysterious priest who the main character seeks help from. (Father Roberts is played by William Morgan Sheppard, who also had a similar role in Zork Nemesis, a cinematic computer game that also has a very somber, creepy mood. Check it out) The story is similar to the first movie, Jon Porter (Michael Gross) moves back to his hometown with his daughter after his mother dies. When he gets back, three demons from his past come back to terrorize him and his daughter. I smiled when several references were made to the original movie. Stephen King had put a demon raising ritual, in which you must cut off a finger, in his short story and it didn't make it for the first film, but this part of the story ...came back.. for the sequel. With all that the movie had a great, creepy mood to it, but unfortunately it begins to feel like a slasher movie, with a few characters dying miserably. That's the only element of this movie I don't like. Two characters died horribly on-screen, crying and screaming. In my opinion, that was a little inapropriate but, oh well. This movie is still good for any fan of the original movie.
