Plot

[edit]

Police artist Jack Whitfield (Fahey) is chasing a serial killer who seems to be unstoppable. The only surviving victim is Emmy O'Conner (Cox), who is blind. At first Jack is skeptical but she describes her attacker in uncanny detail and Jack becomes closer to catching the killer. But this man will stop at nothing to kill Emmy, the one who revealed his identity.

Reception

[edit]

Variety said the script was "uneven" but "imaginative" and praised Fahey and especially Cox, who they called "terrific". They also praised Bryan England’s "cunning lensing", Virginia Lee’s production design, Michael Schweitzer’s editing, and Tim Truman’s score.[3] Radio Times said it was an improvement on the first film "in regard to plot, if not in terms of casting, as the support team here is no substitute for the presence of Sean Young and Drew Barrymore in the original."[4]
