I enjoyed the movie and would watch again. Personally, I felt like it didn't do much as a sequel, but it was well directed and as scary as the first if not more so! Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I just felt like the endings were a bit too similar, wish there was more at the end. Unless there is going to be a 3rd movie, I feel like it has left a lot to be wrapped up and left unsatisfied. The acting was as sublime as it was in the first! The sound directing was top notch also. The movie didn't have that same charming novelty factor that first had but thats because everyone knows the premise and doesn't waste anytime explaining it. It explained a little more of the backstory, but didn't go into too much detail with that so as to make it a bit too cheesy or similar to anything else we've seen. That's what the first movie had that made it so interesting. It doesn't explain the origin of the monsters, its just "There are monsters and you can't make any sound or they'll find you and you'll die". This one was more like "....and here's what happened next.. oh and this happened on day 1". Like, I said, I would watch again, but left me wanting more substance and satisfaction from the ending. 4/5.
