The first part where it's the first film all over again, but in an apartment building is better than the second part where it's The Brood but with demons instead of horny zombies. Still fluid and gory in a way that makes it kinda worth it for the faithful, though, even if it's not so great as an actual story.

The building is the least convincing part of this movie. It's an office building trying to pass for a residential building, so the set designers stuffed it full of fake plants and other oddments. Fun movie, but it kind of outstayed its welcome for me. The parts in the indoor parking garage are hilarious. Love how this residential building's workout room was just packed with sweaty hardbodies ready to take on the monsters!

Featuring Bobby Rhodes (who played the pimp in the first one) as the would be hero gym dude.
