A horrible B-grade sequel, an insult to the first movie

Rating: 4/10 (9 September 2019)

It is rarely that I have to write a review here. It is because this movie is HORRIBLE. Filled with cheap scares and really really bad writing. It was hard to believe that it is from the same team of people (especially the director) who made the first one. I am a big fan of the first one and was really looking forward to a worthwhile closing. But man, was it awful. I considered the first one a true horror movie, but this one was just over-the-top. Spiders bursting out of heads (which reminded me of the Evil Dead movies) and all those ridiculous looking CGI monsters appearing again and again. Just an overkill. And what the heck, is it even a horror movie anymore? Apparently not. It is a horror comedy, again like Evil Dead. People behind us laughing continuously. Example, that three doors scene in Pennywise's house? The same house scared the heck out of me in the first one. But in this one, it was funny rather than scary. Such a let down.
