The psychopathic kidnapper known as Skeleton Man reappears in this fast-paced sequel, along with his victims, Molly and her parents. He follows them to an isolated mountain resort, and this time he has murderous revenge on his mind. Though the villain is flat and the plot includes a lot of filler, Bruchac adds atmosphere with details from Native American and Mayan folklore.
