I love Meg Tilly.

The movie is not great, but the dreamy aspect to Tilly's performance works really well.

It explains her actions, and it explains Jake Berman's motivation.

The movie doesn't work if Kitty is an ordinary woman.

I also think she's the best thing in Psycho II.

The problem with both movies is that lightning doesn't strike twice. You can't will a classic sequel to a classic movie into existence.

It's the same with 2010: The Year We Make Contact, Jaws 2, Rocky II.

Most great sequels to a classics movie are either a natural continuation of the story or an ambitious re-imagining.
