Trivia
Ensuring "the sequel was different from its predecessor" meant giving the film a unique look. Parker Finn wanted to depict a "glammy, shiny, very fun pop star's world," but also make it feel "very cold, frigid, threatening and almost alien." This meant avoiding the usual horror settings of cold creepy basements and shadowy attics. Finn said he wanted to find fear, dread and unease in an unexpected environment.

Goofs
While the film takes place in New York City, when Skye and Gemma are driving out of the city to Staten Island, the very last part of the shot is with mountains in the background...clearly upstate NY where the movie was shot.

7/10

Naomi Scott is phenomenal

It's pretty similar in structure and how it plays out to the first movie, so if you liked 1 then you'll like 2. But where this movie really shines is Naomi Scott. She gave this movie 1,000% and I was absolutely blown away by her performance. She demonstrates so much range and brings an intensity to the movie that was definitely not present in the first movie. They also really amped up the gore here, which I enjoyed.

As for issues, as mentioned previously it's quite similar to the first movie. I was hoping for the formula to get changed up a little, but it follows the same blueprint. Also, as this movie is almost completely standalone, it treads some similar ground in terms of lore and learning about what the "entity" is. So if you've seen the first movie, you'll get some repetitive aspects there.

It's still solid enough on its own though. There are some very creepy sequences, great gore, and Naomi Scott being the absolute shining star of the movie. It's definitely worth seeing just for her performance alone.
