8/10
On edge throughout
19 March 2023
While the plot and characters didn't pull me along to the same degree as the first, the intensity and atmosphere sure did. I see this as more of a 2nd part , instead of a sequel, if that makes sense.

While I was not as invested in Minerva (or the 2nd girl) as I was with Gary from the first film, the movie left me with that thirst to find out more of the mythology, or the "dark forces" at play.

Yes, I am confused at what the deal is with the old hermit guy, but very eager to discover more in part 3 (I was kind of expecting more to come to light in this film). I will rewatch this week as i probably missed some fine details since I had to mute the volume at times just to slow my heart rate down, bc it was pounding throughout.

Needless to say, I am immersed into this franchise. I am very hopeful that the 3rd film will give us a good balance between scares, character development, and backstory.
