it's so punishingly dull to watch, filled with dry, perfunctory dialogue from Stacey Menear's consistently uninventive script and shot without even a glimmer of style, that even at a brisk 86 minutes, it feels like unending torture
filled with lifeless characters, basic jump-scares, and very little else, this useless horror sequel betrays whatever good ideas the 2016 original had in a poor attempt to create a monster franchise
a terrifying atmosphere can't save this hollow cash grab; The result is messier than a ten-year-old's bedroom. Complete with tantrums, doll parts and terrifyingly poor parenting
