I admit I'm a fan of the first.
But I can't believe they made a sequel out this.
This soooo bad ahaha..
But in ideal quarantine fashion I watched it over video-chat with my friend who I watched the first one with, cracking jokes about it and perfectly predicting dialogue as it went along. I saw it coming by simply the nature of making a sequel to it, but it's a shame they had to completely retcon and re-write the mechanics and ending of the original in an attempt to continue the story here. I wasn't a fan of the first one, but it's a handsomely made movie with a nice atmosphere and premise that kept me involved in it.
This one, on the other hand, is just a crazy, clunky attempt at re-creating something that could've only worked once. I will say there is one nicely indelible horror image in it towards the end [], but that comes at like minute-80 of 86, so needless to say it's way too little too late. But at least it's short!

Also.. Still not the worst movie of 2020!
Well, I guess my definition of a retcon in the sense that every character motivation and piece of mythology they illustrated and had every intention of being true in the first one (especially if it was never a sequel) is suddenly revised and made largely inert in retrospect by what's explained in this one simply to be able to provide a continuation. Something as simple as Brahms actually being alive when the whole reveal in the original is that he never was is such a massive change.Quote:
