This movie has elicited many negative comments, but one scene makes the movie worthwhile for me:
In the beginning and in the end we see the young Jonathan looking out his window, while the Carlsson freight-train passes by. The environment of that home and that backyard is depressing, the loniless and boredom can be felt, Jonathan being the only child of an abandoned, ambitious and possesive mother. You may sense the need to escape from this poverty stricken youth even if one or more murders have to be committed.
The scene evokes very well the melancholy about a lost innocence. -

I just seen the first movie with Robert Wagner, who was a young stud at the time. Boy what a stiff acting performance, this one with Matt was better, I seen it at the show when it fast came out. Not great but better than the first witch is very rare.

I thought the frame scenes of the murderer as a little kid were a bit heavy handed.
A scene I really loved, though, was the brief shot of Sean Young rinsing the dye out of her hair, and the reddish stain swirling down the tub's drain reminding us of the hotel tub we've seen earlier, full of blood and gore from one of the murders.
I hated the chase scene at the end of the picture. Sean Young has a knife in her hand at the beginning of the scene, but makes a remarkably feeble effort to defend herself with it. -

I remember the English version's scene.
Dorry:JonathanLet me down
Jonathan:In a minute
J:New shoes?(while grabbing her leggs)
D:Yes I've just got'em. You count let me down now?
J:I'm sorry Dorry
D:What?
J:You only have yourself to blame.

Oh my God, me too! My uncle put it on when I was about 6 or 7 and (as a child, I really couldn't handle violence) I spent the rest of the night and the next few weeks utterly traumatised by seeing that man push her. Doesn't he say something about cigarettes, as well? i've not actually watched this movie but that's the one scene that has stuck with me all this time.
