I actually just sat down and rewatched both the first and second installments after about a decade away from them. To be honest, the first one remains flawless for me, whereas they definitely muddied the waters a bit with the sequel—changing the narrative direction, that is—but I still found myself enjoying the ride. Reading through the comments, I see everyone complaining that it "wasn't scary enough," but I don't really see the point in forcing "jump scares" or gore just because it’s labeled a horror film (even if, back when I was a kid, the whole thing felt absolutely terrifying to me). For me, the substance lies in the storytelling, the direction, the tension, and the atmosphere—not to mention having a compelling lead actress like 😁. This film checked all those boxes. That’s why I’m giving it a 👍 and counting down the days until the third installment drops in April 2016. 🎉
