Tamara did not return because she wanted more money. So Harris accepted the monies offered out of desperation to work as she is flumbering in the lowest paid Z list independents and grabs what ever she can get while Tamara insisted on more income and walked when they told her no.

Well, regardless of the reasoning, I preferred Tamara in the role over Harris, but ONLY by a tiny margin.
Did anyone else notice Danielle's right eyebrow was raised through 95% of the film?!?!?? Not sure why I never noticed it in other movies before! I wanted to reach through the screen & grab her brows & adjust them myself.

I've never seen so many polarized opinions on Danielle Harris's acting. Personally, I adore the actress due to her roles in "Halloween" 4 and 5, so I was ecstatic with the change and did like her performance in this film. I did notice the eye-brow thing, but who cares. Nobody watches horror movies like this for Academy Award winning performances, and she did a more than serviceable job.

Actually judging by this board, a lot of people, including myself, care. I much preferred Tamara Feldman in the role, and like many others here, found Danielle Harris' "People's Eyebrow" distracting. -

I like Danielle Harris and she is one of my favorite actresses. I will watch anything she stars in, but she looks and sounds completely different from the actress from the first film. So if you watch the films together back to back, it is a noticeable change and is difficult to get used to. But I suppose that always happens when you recast because no two people are exactly the same.
I've been waiting for you, Ben. -

I was interested to see her because I recognised her from the Halloween movies. Of course in parts 4 and 5 of Halloween she was only a child and in the Rob Zombie reboots she mostly took a backseat to the lead. So I was interested to see what she'd do with a lead role.
But I found her to be terrible here. She didn't seem able to carry the central role at all and she always seemed to use the same select few expressions. Naturally it didn't help that this sequel wasn't written that well either though.
It's difficult to say whether Tamara would have been much better. The role of Marybeth was smaller there. She was just one of many characters and we'd mainly been focussed on the bloke with her right at the end for most of the movie. She wasn't really a 'final girl' until the last few seconds of the film, so she never had to carry the film alone. Still, I have to say I found Danielle Harris
distractingly
bad in the lead role in this sequel. -

Why didnt they use the actress from the first film?
Quite obviously because they wanted to do some more Hollywood self-referencing by putting someone from the Halloween franchise into the cast. This has been lame since Scream, but who cares
There are no bad movies. If a movie doesn't make sense, it's a metaphore that you don't get. - MBs
