Shot in the same building as Hellraiser: Judgment? One of these is much better than the other.
CotC here is your average low budget “where do we go next with the series”. Anyone who looked at the original might say what happens to these kids, or what if one of them was not like all the others? A pretty realistic progression of the idea.
Thus we have mystery woman Ruth with her son Aaron. They come rolling into a middle of nowhere little town and pickup work at a garage, make some friends and get a little place to stay. Everything is on the up and up until a mystery girl in a yellow dress keeps appearing, and the past gets brought back to haunt the present.
What it also is: a lot of slow build. I’m not going to dump on this but really an 80 minute movie which feels long is almost hard to do. It’s like there’s just no tension and the characters are interesting enough but we’ve seen this before… a lot before.
The whole movie basically stays in the whatever mode and is basically rated R only for blood. Which sucks. This is fine n whatever but decidedly not as fun as the last one. 1.5 stars only for the actors being good.
