As Nell Sweetzer tries to build a new life after the events of the first movie, the evil force that once possessed her returns with an even more horrific plan.
An exorcise in futility.
A stylistic departure from the shaky aesthetic of the first film. Sadly, most of its nervy shocks and creeping sense of unease go the same way.
It's like being stalked, except this time you can't blame Facebook. The frights, such as they are, come just when you most expect them.
It's competently made, but pointless.
Sadly, this promising idea is dropped almost as soon as it’s been introduced, and the movie bellyflops abysmally in its second half.
It all builds towards another sequel-ready ending, so expect this nonsensically titled series to run and run.
It's dreary, formulaic stuff that even manages to make a Mardi Gras parade look dull.
The box office success of mediocre films like The Devil Inside and The Possession shows that this demonic possession genre is still of interest to audiences. But writer/director Ed Gass-Donnelly’s film offers little ironic edge or incisive imagery, pushing far too hard with an unpleasant emphasis on sexuality, and ending up as a by-the-numbers rehash of the original film’s weakest elements.
