For years, Jon Porter (Michael Gross) has been repressing memories of how his older sister was murdered -- and how he electrocuted her three assailants to death. Now he must go home for the funeral of his mother, who died under strange circumstances. While in his hometown, Jon's daughter, Michelle (Hilary Swank), makes friends with some of the local girls as well as someone named Tony Reno (Alexis Arquette), who resembles and has the same name as one of the boys her father killed.

Sometimes They Come Back ... Again is slickly produced, but after a while you begin to wonder why all this supernatural stuff keeps happening in this particular town.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

More interested in peeping Toms and horny kids to remember to scare.

Way worse than the first one. Arquette's character was pretty entertaining but the acting overall was horrible. It models itself after the first one but makes it way dumber. I kept finding myself missing the punk kids from the first movie.

Bizarre as hell and a bit sleazy but that repetitive ending really kills the vibe.

Oof! I don't know who thought this was a good idea... It's ludicrous, filled with bottom barrel effects and i don't know who thought Alexis Arquette could play a menacing demon, but they were wrong. Dead wrong!
