Tim O Loved Kolchak back in the 70s. Still enjoy rewatching 'em. I'd like to think they could be reworked and brought back - but looking at the damage they do these day's, 're-imaging' solid original material, I guess they're better left intact in the form Darren McGaven originally delivered them in... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review CodyZamboni Worthy sequel to The Night Stalker, helmed by veterans Dan Curtis and Richard Matheson. More comic scenes this time, but still retains the creepy, eeire vibe in this tale of a killer seeking immortality. I like how Kolchak undercovers clues thru hard nosed research, and bending the rules to get information. I also enjoyed Kolchak's new hot belly dancing sidekick well played by Joann Pflug. The sequences in the Seattle underground city also add to the suspense factor.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/21 Full Review johnathon w Solid sequel to the classic "The Night Stalker", that suffers from repeating the beats of the first movie (like most sequels) but still manages enough horror & humor for a fun viewing. Darren McGavin remains perfection as Karl Kolchak, a talented reporter when not tripping over his own ego. This time, he plays Kolchak more for laughs but also a man now aware of the supernatural, thus when clues to the strangler start pointing that way, Kolchak doesn't hesitate to look. Behind the camera, Dan Curtis does solid job continuing the story, with more humor this time while Richard Matheson's script is just as sharp & funny. The downside is that it follows too many of the beats of the original, along with a rather anti-climatic ending. Overall, still fun viewing for Kolchak fans, thus a must for any true horror fan. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost as scary as the Night Stalker....the villain in Night Strangler can actually speak! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Another solid outing with Kolchack. This time he's tracking down a.. zombie? ghoul? immortal? I don't know what it was, but it's a fun hunt. The interplay between McGavin and his editor is what makes this series soo engaging.
