For context, I expected this to be a great movie so perhaps I fell for the hype and set the bar too high. Maybe I've seen one too many horror movies. The plot was generic and predictable, this was disappointing to me as it sometimes spoiled what could have been shocking moments. A couple jumpscares did get me and were fun, but more often than not they felt undeserved or underwhelming. There are some familiar faces in the cast, but I found myself recalling their prior work rather than appreciating their role in the movie. With all this in mind, my advice for anyone going to see this film is to have low expectations. It's an okay film.

I really enjoyed the first film and was intrigued by how they would continue the story, but boy did they drop the ball on this film. Truly a shame.

First thing you need to know is the acting is bad. At times it's alright, at times it's awful, and at times I cringed. The plot of the movie is not bad, no one really has addressed this but this is easily the only thing that kept my interested throughout. Not a new idea by any means, but the psychological aspect of the movie kept me entertained. The directing was good. Some shots were pretty cool and some jump scares were actually clever. Depending on how you look at it, one of the jump scares was either a rip off or was inspired by a James Wan jump scare. The movie had the potential to be good and they just dropped the ball. Some people have mentioned how the shot gun deaths were one of the reasons it was a "bad" movie. These people are over dramatic. That scene, while head scratching is not going to ruin the movie. Though, it's what they had to do it seems to keep a PG-13 rating based off rumors I'm seeing/reading. If you are a fan horror, go into this movie with low expectations. If you are not a fan of horror, don't watch this movie.
