Marvelous Videos presents underappreciated sequels to acclaimed pictures…

Sequelitis is one of the biggest plagues of the film industry.

On the other, sometimes a story doesn’t need to be extended- it had a perfect beginning, middle, and end, and creating anything additional after runs the risk of hurting its legacy.
