Not at all like the first film, "Cast a Deadly Spell," which was an amusing mashup of film noir and Lovecraft's mythos. There's no Lovecraft, and the magic really makes no sense. This film has little humor and no suspense. The directing is dreadful. Nothing that happens in the plot has any feeling of significance. The pacing is slow as molasses. And Hopper sleeperwalks through the story. Such a disappointing follow-up.
