It's been 5 years since Terry's friend opened the gates of hell in his backyard. The house hasn't been touched and very abandoned ever since.
Terry (Louis Tripp) is still studying sorcery and is now in highschool.
Him and a couple of bullies named John (James Villemare) and Moe (Simon Reynolds) accidentally opens up the other side with the sorcery again and lets loose a minion.
The minion is kept in a cage in Terry's house and some people are granted wishes only to turn deadly.
John and Moe break into Terry's home while Terry's alcoholic father is in a hospital from a plane accident and steals the minion but it escapes and Terry must find a way to stop it with the help of John's ex-girlfriend Liz (Pamela Adlon) as John himself is slowly turning into a minion himself after being attacked by it.

 

It's very boring in the beginning of the film and nowhere near as exciting like the first one.
The flick was taken in a total different direction by using only one character from the first film which is okay.
Towards a quarter way through the film does get better and seems a bit exciting.

The acting is in good shape as it's nice to see Louis Tripp returning as Terry.
Simon Reynolds and
James Villemaire perform well as typical school bullies in the film with their sick attitude and violent behaviors.

A teens flesh is beginning to rot.

Tibor Takács is back with his work ion this sequel like he did with the first film.
He still does a well job with his cast members and shows great effects with the camera shooting the minion as well as the battle with the kids becoming minions themselves towards close to the end of the film.

George Blondheim takes the hands at composing this time and makes the film sound very effective especiually during the opening credits for the film.
