when i first find out that brian krause be go to be in this movie and i want to watch . it take me week to realize that i have see the original of this and love it . so i have even more reason to watch . well and i watch . it be actually good than most sequel for tv movie . i hate what happen to brian character ( you can find out for yourself ) and i do not like most of the character and brian one include . but the movie need the cheesy and annoying and jerk like character to make stanley caldwell ( judd nelson ) shine once more . at the end and i be cheer for stanley and his own happy end . if you like the original cabin by the lake or if you like horror movie without the blood and i would suggest you watch this .
