Unremarkable film. Fails WP:GNG. Article does not assert notability. —  Richard  BB  10:56, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

 *  Weak keep This film stars many notable people, and IMDb gives a host of some borderline-reliable critic reviews.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 20:28, 3 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Meets WP:NF through coverage and commentary in independent sources. While yes, the three-sentence nominated version had issues, they have been addressed and the article improved to the point where the project is now served. I would remind the nominator that an article does not have to itself "assert" a notability, as notability is found through a topic's coverage outside of Wikipedia and not by anything we write within these pages... though by asserting itself as a sequel to a notable film this one did so assert.  Also I wish to politely remind of any unintended WP:Bite:  This was a brand new article, contributed by an inexperienced newcomer, and proposed for deletion 22 minutes after being authored, but wisely declined .  After being declined, and with no polite tagging for cleanup or expansion or sourcing, it was nominated for deletion. So be it, and here we are. Though not intended to force cleanup, the nomination did just that.  And while it has caught the attention of multiple genre sources loved by horror fans even if not by Wikipedia, it also received enough attention in suitable sources. The film appears to have had an earlier release in Germany so we can look for additional non-English coverage. Considering it stars Bruce Dern, I think it safe to allow the now improved version to remain and be further improved as additional reviews come forward toward its more recent Blue-Ray release.
