Clock Tower II

Plot Summary
The film begins as a young woman named Helen Maxwell reviews a series of crime scene photographs from the Clock Tower incident: a series of gruesome murders committed at an isolated mansion in the Romsdalen mountains of Norway. In the next room is Helen's temporary ward and a survivor of the murders, Jennifer Simpson. Helen interrupts Jennifer's hypnotherapy session with her boss and criminology professor, Dr. Samuel Barton. Helen and Barton argue briefly, before Helen takes Jennifer back to their shared apartment.

Helen drops Jennifer off at their shared apartment, where they are hounded by news reporter, Nolan Campbell. After dropping Jennifer off at the apartment, Helen returns to the research center to finish up some paperwork. There she meets Kay Satterwhite, a social worker who has taken on the case of Edward, another survivor of the murders. After speaking with Kay and Edward, Helen heads home.

Meanwhile, Jennifer goes to meet the reporter Nolan Campbell, for an interview. While on her way, she is followed by an unseen person. An unnerved Jennifer walks to the research center, where she asks for help from a security guard. However, a person in a grotesque mask and overcoat murders the guard in front of her, before chasing her inside the research building. After a lengthy chase, Jennifer calls the police for help, but midway through the phone call the power is cut. Jennifer escapes by locking herself in a bathroom. Scissor Man is able to break through the door, but Jennifer barely escapes by crawling through the window.

She runs out to the parking lot and onto the highway, where she is met by a patrolman and Helen. The officer takes Jennifer and Helen to the police station, where they speak with Assistant Inspector Stan Gotts, who does not believe Jennifer's story of supernatural horrors at the Barrows mansion. Gotts and Helen speak in private, where they argue outside the room. However, Gotts agrees to look into a tip found by Helen about a butler who previously worked for the Barrows family. He meets with the man the next day.

Gotts meets with Richard, the butler who had worked for the Barrows family. Richards lives in a noticeably high class neighborhood, which Gotts takes notice of. Outside, Richard's dog barks incessantly and he goes outside to check what is wrong, but the dog instead rips his throat out, killing him. Suddenly, the chandelier in the house breaks and nearly crushes Gotts, who steps out of the way. The same deformed figure appears and attacks Gotts, who shoots at him, but to no avail. Gotts smashes the glass door, escaping into the rain.

Gotts tells Helen of what he had seen at Richard's home, revealing he recovered the demonic idol used to activate a secret door in the previous film. Helen convinces Gotts to accompany her and Jennifer to the Barrows Castle in England, after learning of the Barrows family's heritage and history. They travel to the castle, accompanied by Jennifer, Kay, Edward, Harris, and Beth. The group spend the night camping out outside the castle, before waking up the next morning to find Jennifer, Edward, and Kay have disappeared.

Gotts, Harris, Beth, and Helen make their way up to the castle, where Helen falls through a weak spot in the floor. She discovers Harris, who leads her to Jennifer, trapped in a wine cellar with Beth's body. Harris reveals a voice told him to murder Beth and kidnap Jennifer. He summons the murderer, who decapitates him. As the killer advances upon Jennifer and Helen, Nolan appears to distract him, using the flashbulb of his camera to startle the killer. Helen and Jennifer escape with Nolan, while Nolan's camera man Tim is murdered. They barricade themselves inside a room, where they find Gotts, who consoles a sobbing Helen.

The group is suddenly ambushed by the killer, who bursts through the floorboards and snatches Jennifer. While searching for her, the killer emerges from a painting and fatally wounds Gotts, leaving him to die in Helen's arms. She takes his pistol to confront the killer, entering a door in the side of the room leading to what appears to be a chapel. The killer is about to murder Kay, when Helen intervenes. She wounds the killer with the pistol, before rescuing Jennifer, who has been bound to a large cross. They follow the killer into another room, where they discover it is Professor Barton, who dies of his bullet wound.

On the way out of the castle, Jennifer sees a dried up pond which leads down into a secret room. Helen follows her down and the two discover a large underground structure, where they learn that Dan Barrows, Bobby's twin brother, survived the fire from the previous film and is really Edward. Helen shoots Edward, who proceeds to transform into a demonic monstrosity. It reveals that Jennifer is a Barrows and is the final sacrifice needed for the family's curse. Helen performs a spell to open a portal to destroy Dan, who grabs onto Jennifer's waist.

However, the ghosts of the Barrows' previous victims intervene and rescue her, sending Dan flying down into the vortex. Helen and Jennifer, along with Nolan and Gotts, escape the castle, while Kay, Barton, and Dan perish. The castle is swallowed up in the vortex, leaving the four as the only survivors. The film ends with Jennifer permanently living with Helen, while Gotts has survived his wounds and Nolan is smitten with Jennifer.
