Sequel? Don't need it... let's do it!
The kids from the first movie (I assume, I can't remember) are called, via dreams, out to the lake where it just so happens that a) their mom was there, and b) the Grabber started there. They join up with the camp owners and seek out the kids who were killed there previously, to take away the Grabber's power.
From IMDB: "the sequel was not based on a specific Joe Hill story" and yeah, it shows. This movie has nothing to do and spins its wheels not doing anything. The kids "powers" (talking on the phone, having visions in dreams) are cranked up to 11 to give some excuse for having any old phone ring and to have her have weird dreams they can use to be "scary" (but not actually scary).
Why did Ethan Hawke come back for this? Did he have nothing better to do? I can't recognise the other actors from anything else, so I'm guessing they didn't. Certainly there isn't a lot of budget to splash around, the biggest effect they do is put some post processing filter on the dream segments, which is nice, but otherwise was this filmed all at a backlot? I'd believe it.
We didn't need 2, so I'm sure they'll wring a 3 out of this...
