976 evil 2 represent the astral factor start at slate river college where the dean mr. grubeck ( rene assa ) have just murder pretty blonde teenager lori glazier ( karen mayo chandler ) which bring his murder count to five girl and this time however a drunk bum name turrell ( george buck flower ) be witness to his crime and grubeck be arrest . grubeck be give his statutory one phone call which he use to phone 976 evil a direct line to hell and grubeck be give power which enable him to astrally project himself while asleep and be also give the name of the drunk who meet a very sticky end that night . meanwhile pretty blonde teenager ( notice a pattern here . ) robin ( debbie james ) be contact by 976 evil survivor spike ( patrick obryan reprise his role from the original ) who know that grubeck be use the satanic hot line to murder and generally be antisocial and by a strange coincidence robin use to work for grubeck who develop a crush on her and he still have it . direct by jim wynorski and whose very name when attach to a film send shiver down my spine and 976 evil 2 represent the astral factor be a terrible sequel to a fairly decent original . the script by erik anjou play the concept far more like a standard teen slasher ( a if we do not already have enough ) rather than try to develop the demonic phone line to hell idea a in the first and instead they take the 976 evil premise and simply use it to give some supernatural power to a homicidal maniac who want to kill lot of dumb and annoy teenager and yawn . the whole thing a bit of an embarrassment really and it predictable and the character really be stupid and gullible and the exploitation element be lack and a a film it provide little in the way of entertainment . the opening scene feature a naked blonde in a shower for no reason other than show off her breast and she be chase by grubeck and then just lie there and wait for him to kill her which he do by pull a rope which release a fake stalactite to impale her . it doesn not get much well either apart from a couple of decent car chase scene and one or two nice kill and overall there be very little to recommend here i be afraid . director wynorski still have the nerve to use his real name on the credit when he make this back in 91 instead of hide under his usual jay andrew pseudonym and the film be reasonably well make but it doesn not have any style or the visual look of the first film . it pretty bland and forgettable stuff while the gore be also disappointing and someone be impale and someone have a garden trowel stick in them in a direct rip off and sorry homage to night of the living dead ( 1968 ) and a few after the fact slit throat and and in the film best moment a guy be hit by a speeding truck and he just explode everywhere and excellent . 976 evil be also one of those film where it fun to try and spot all the continuity error a there plenty of them . technically the film be ok and although i be sure that truck at the end change between a tanker trailer and box trailer . now on to the best aspect of 976 evil and miss usa finalist debbie james . frankly she be one pretty hot look young lady and make the film a lot easy to sit through that for sure and she can not act but she sure look good and nobody perfect be they . a for everyone else the act suck include original cast returnee obryan . 976 evil represent the astral factor be an awful film from the ever awful jim wynorski and it do not do anything for me and i think the original 976 evil ( 1987 ) be a far superior film that try to do something with the concept whereas this doesn not .
