I was really impressed by this sequel. I love
The Stuff and I liked
It's Alive but the latter wasn't my favorite so I was wondering what direction part 2 would go in. How could they possibly do a follow-up? Shame on me for doubting Larry Cohen. The way he expanded the world was brilliant and I was happy to see John Ryan return. His opening speech to the new parents was very powerful and emotional. I could really feel for his character. I like how it all comes full circle too. I knew nothing about this film going in and I think that's the best way to watch movies. My only regret is not watching it sooner. Of course, Rick Baker does an excellent job with the FX and they're wise to not show the mutant babies too much. This series reminds me of the
Basket Case films, which I also love. I'd gladly rewatch either trilogy. They just don't make them like this anymore.
The Suckling is another one I enjoy and
Baby Blood. Behold the infant horror subgenre!
