A Worthy Sequel

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2019)

It doesn't quite live up to the original, but it's a decent enough continuation. It's more of the same but it doesn't feel like it's more of the same.
There are enough throwbacks to the original film to make this a rewarding viewing experience as opposed to most horror franchises with films written and produced entirely independent of each other.
One thing the first two entries in this franchise did really well was paying attention to the minor plot details. There are a lot of loose ends left in the dark corners of this story that are all resolved satisfactorily by the end.
And this film ends in such a way that I'm genuinely interested and excited to see what comes next. Very well done.
