Maybe ... just maybe ... they're running out of 1960s TV shows to make movies out of. Maybe. Why would I say this? Why else would you make a sequel to a 1981 film without promising anything new in the way of story, but just a bunch of new morphing special effects?

Sorry, I lost my head there for a second. That is exactly why this film was made. You can re-hash the same story, adding new state-of-the-art morphing effects and sell it to a new crop of kids who might have been conceived in the back of a car at a drive-in while the original was playing.

OK, I'm old and jaded. I'm not paying for this a second time.
