The movie stars Mark Kinsey Stephenson, Charles Klausmeyer, Maria Ford, Julie Strain (Bleed; How to Make a Monster; Sorceress; Psycho Cop 2), John Rhys-Davies (Aux; Anaconda 3; Chupacabra: Dark Seas; Waxwork) and David Warner (In the Mouth of Madness; Necronomicon; Body Bags; Waxwork; The Omen).
Plot:
Outside the Winthrop house, it is swarming with police officers and medics. Howard is being wheeled into an ambulance, Tanya is put into a police car, and Randolph is carrying Joshua Winthrop’s book of spells, which he gives to Howard for safekeeping. Randolph confronts the Dean but is told not to dabble in things that he could never understand. However, Professor Warren agrees to help.
Howard is dragged along and the three go to the spot where Randolph erupted from the ground in the first film. Eventually, Warren and Carter find Alyda, Joshua Winthrop’s demon daughter wrapped up in the roots of the tree that dragged Alyda out from the house…

Reviews:
“Its one flaw, which was intentionally ridiculous, is its 1920’s academic stuffiness. Carter and crew are almost unbelievably prim and proper, even with a beautiful nude girl who refuses to get dressed in their midst reflecting Lovecraft’s social ideals even though the film is set in modern times. The demon effects and gore are wonderful. Unnamable II is a horror romp, more fun than frightening.” Sorrell’s Creepshow
