Viewing Notes
An okay sequel that takes the story in a new direction yet this installment feels flat compared the previous film. With the entire story revolving around the mother and her two boys fleeing her abusive husband, the movie doesn’t set the stakes very well with the horror elements. It flips back and forth so neither is very well defined.
Given this is a horror movie my favorite sequence isn’t one of the horror scenes but when the husband comes to retrieve the boys. That’s kinda the problem here; what should we be focusing on? And making that guy a villain you hope he gets killed thus having us side with the Bughuul, which I don’t think is the point of these films.
The other downside is that no one here is as good as Ethan Hawk in the first movie. In fact, it’s as though they wanted a sequel on half the budget from the first movie. It just looks cheaper.
I give it a slight bump for filming around northern Illinois, not that you can tell but they did.
