About
You may enjoy this if you want an offbeat, divisive sequel that leans into possession-style horror, striking effects, and a darker villain vibe; Not for you if you want dream-focused scares like the original or Prom Night.
Pros: eerie opening nightmare; scary villain presence; memorable practical effects | Cons: messy rule-breaking story; uneven pacing; thin character development
