Sequel to Escape to Witch Mountain (1975). The two ESP- and PK-endowed kids from outer space are having a vacation in town, and are spotted by a duo of crooks who kidnap the boy with the intention of exploiting his psychic gifts. The girl befriends a gang of truant boys who help her locate and rescue her brother.
Less than electrifying adventure for juvenile audiences. While not an unpleasant watch, the parade of SFX-enhanced paranormality is unable to lift the film off from the strictly routine fare ground. I was left with a question from the first film, namely, why must they use a flying saucer to move to and from Witch Mountain, but it remained unanswered. Also unmet by this film was my curiosity about their "community", which is never shown.
