To start off like many people in the reviews, I am a big fan of the first movie. I can enthusiastically say that Brahms Heelshire is one of my favourite horror movie characters. But this movie left me with nothing but disappointment. I spent the majority of the movie thinking that everything happening was just Brahms and that all the supernatural scenes where just caused by the mother’s head trauma. And I would have let most of the iffy bits slide but then it’s dropped on your head that Brahms is dead. No explanation on how or how anyone found out.
This movie does poorly to connect to the first and it very easily shows. In the first movie when the doll is shattered it is empty but when they shatter it in this movie all of a sudden there is flesh underneath with no explanation given. Overall this movie feels like a poor Annabelle ripoff where nothing big really happens and falls back on jump scares as it’s only means to appear scary.
