Having enjoyed the first film well enough and being aware that this one came out recently i finally gave it a shot, and I'm glad i did because it was really exciting! This movie expands on the mystery of the first in a pretty organic way, tying in other incidents that may or may not be connected to the tragedy of the first movie. I found this one more engaging than the first due to the abundance of in universe material to look at, though this does come at a price which is that the film's narrative is much less focused and controlled, which may be a downside if you don't enjoy storytelling that is slightly scatterbrained. Regardless this entry has taken me from ambivalent about the first to actively excited for the next. I'm totally hooked!
There are some negatives though, such as the film's overuse and abuse of musical stings and cues. This movie is slightly less scary than the first, though it has more scary material overall. I say watch if you liked the first one. 7/10.
