So, I went into this one a little skeptical given the so-so first film which I felt was too repetitive & had an anti climatic ending! But, nonetheless, I went to see this one to see if it was much cop!
The film sees a woman finds a VHS tape on her doorstep that shows a series of gruesome tales that could be real! But the true danger is the pumpkin-faced killer that's using the tape to find his next victim!
I found the film to be a vast improvement over the first! For one, the tales on the VHS Tapes were all varied & not just that actually pretty good, gory & full on with violence & terror! There was more than just 3 unlike the first one! The wrap around story I felt was better too & a bit more imaginative this time around!
The runtime is longer at 1 hour & 26 minutes & has decent pacing to go with it! The films concept is much the same minus Art the Clown, which I think isn't bad at all! Art was good, but the creepy clown concept has been done to death let's be honest!
Overall, it's a vast improvement over it's predecessor! The wrap around story & segments are far better & more varied which makes for a good film overall! With a sinister, scary Halloween themed feel & fast pacing & a 86 minute runtime, you can't go wrong with this sequel!
9/10.
