Pleasantly surprised!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2016)

Usually not a fan of sequels, but this one really surprised me! It was nice and long (just over 2 hours) which is rare for a horror film. This allowed for much better character development than the first one IMO. There were also some really well done scares and beautifully shot scenes in general. One of my favorite scenes involved a creepy painting (without giving too much away) that had me on edge the whole time. Acting was top notch - especially the girl who played Janet. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson have great chemistry as well. If you liked the first one I highly recommend checking this one out as you won't be disappointed. I think I may have even liked it better than the first - which is something I never thought I'd hear myself say!
