After accidentally killing his friend with his telekinetic power Alex goes to Thailand to meditate with monks. Meanwhile his sister Helena starts taking a new drug to relieve her scanner headaches but it turns her in to a megalomaniac psycho who goes on a killing spree and tries to take over the world with some fellow scanners also on the drug. Alex then returns to America to try and stop her building up to an annoyingly gore free finish. While the film is aware of and plays up to its stupidity and features the largest amount of ridiculous facial expressions in any film ever made, it still didn’t offer enough laughs or ‘so bad its good’ entertainment. I’m normally a fan of strong female characters but found Helena (Liliana Komorowska) both dull and annoying. I was not a fan of the original film but had heard this one had far more head explosions. We also get to witness a psychic pigeon explosion (the highlight of the film), finger detonation and varicose vein pulsing but its no Braindead and most of the gore was uncreative and without visual flair.
1/5
