So far the best "Part 2" Movie I've seen this year.

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2003)

Well, I would like to start my review by listing some stinker sequels that were released this year but then we'd be here for a while.
I've been watching horror movies since I was 7 Starting with The nightmare franchise, and one thing I've noticed with horror lately is that instead of making you anxious and creeped out to get the scares, most Horror movies go for the BOOO! Scare where the killer jumps out of the shadows or there is a period of inactivity followed by someone jumping in through a window or some crap like that. To be honest I find that to be a cheap scare when done alone. In "The Exorcist" there was an absence of the BOOO! Scare because they knew that the audience would be scared by what was happening on screen, the horror of the situation. This is what I believe this movie accomplishes an actual good mix of foreboding and the BOOO! Scare. The movie is set up so you think you know what's going to happen then it kind of tilts it on it's ear. Most of the deaths follow a system that worked for me... The Set-up - Foreboding - The Fake out - Relief - BOO! Or in some cases just plain old surprise. I enjoyed both this and the original because of the main plot in both of them, which was how can you defeat something that isn't there?
