Coulrophobia at its best!

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2019)

Better than the first chapter with its more visceral story-telling and frightening sequences, this entry into the "written by Stephen King" genre, is well received. I have seen most every horror film out there, and one thing I can't stand are cheap-ass jump scares as when they are overdone, it takes away from the film...well this film has jump scares, but so well timed it leaves you thinking you know exactly when it will strike, but it doesn't. The CGI is mind blowing! Yes, you read that correctly horror fiends. There are scenes that had me squinting away from the screen as the 2 hour 45 minute run time played on, making we wonder, "is this going to end?", but it doesn't. It just kept delivering one fright behind another. The lighting was a tad better than the first film I think with good use of shadows.
