This film is simple. It is a simple film that didn't work as much as I wanted it to. I remember thinking after I left the theater "BEST HORROR MOVIE EVER! OMG!" After re-watching it by buying it on Vudu, My thoughts changed a lot. This isn't a bad sequel, Far from it, but it suffers from what I like to call "Modern Horror Problems!" Problem 1. Too many dumb Jumpscares: Let me explain, Jumpscares aren't bad (although they're not scary), The only problem is that some feel unneeded. It is just part of the checklist I guess. 2. Half the acting is always really bad in Modern Horror Movies for some reason: Two words, Judy Greer. Tell me, Did they drug her and bring her to the set? She felt as if she was asleep or just here for the few pennies she was probably paid. The guy who played the Dr. Loomis replacement was disappointing and just made me wish he wasn't even in the film. Then we have the podcasters and comic relief cops, who sucked and that's all I need to say about them. 3. Dumb character decisions aplenty! Overall, A solid 8/10, I kinda question why I think it is good enough for an 8/10, because now that I think about it, Maybe a 6 or 7 would be a more fitting rating, but screw it, A 8/10 will due!
