My family of four went to the theater and watched this movie yesterday. Three of us watched the 1st movie. I'm giving it a 4 star because I can't do 3.5. The movie is about 20 minutes longer then it needs to be. The beginning is mostly slow. What I like is that it explains questions that might have been unanswered from the 1st movie. For a sequel it does this job well. There are some jump scares and a few scenes of gore. We also laughed a few times. We took our sons with us age 18 and almost 12. While there is some cussing there are no nude or sex scenes. Both boys thought the movie was scary.
