Yes, it's pretty good although from what I recall, doesn't stray too far from the first one. I think the ending was slightly tweaked but overall mostly scene for scene (I think). It's been ages since the original film was on TV, so I think it benefits from the original not being fresh in the memory nor probably in the memory at all of its target audience. The acting is fine for the genre and the lead sympathetic.
Because the original is so horribly dated (as you'd expect from teen themed films of that era) a new version with better special effects is no bad thing.
