Less Surprising Sequel

New family, same demon. This prequel/sequel ties into the story of the first film and expands on it, while delivering more of those jolts. The mechanics are the same and do still work, but I felt like it stuck too close to the original's formula and the finale lost the tension that the film had spent so much time building up. Still, there are a few memorable scares.
