Review of Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge (2001) by Jason F — 12 Oct 2007
An overall improvement over the first film, which is surprising considering according to film law the sequel can never measure up to the original.
The original had cheap effects, and bad make-up. This film took the same budget and made it work. The story is much better, and the villain has more motive.
There's two things that bug me about this movie, one is the goblin character, Luke, looks substantially different then how he appeared in the first -- probably hired a better make-up effects wizard. The second thing is the villain mentioned in the title makes no appearance in this film, only mentioned. If anything this is more of his legacy's revenge then anything.
As I mentioned much better, still not great. Let's see what the other sequels have in store.
