this one was fun! a few cheesy moments but generally delightful!! i remember being underwhelmed by the first movie but no such issue here; you can wait til it comes to streaming though.

kinda slow, kinda boring. had some good scares but came across as comedic where i don't think it should've been.

i'm not going to say i wanted a "happy ending" to this movie because i know not every story needs or will have one. but it was just so uncomfortable and deeply stressful to watch the downfall of craig waterman. i disliked this movie for the same reason i can never finish "elf" - secondhand embarrassment.

it’s been a while since a movie left me breathless. the meticulous care that must have gone into this film is apparent. the scoring, the writing, the acting, all come together impeccably in this sexy, explosive mind game. each character’s choices raise the stakes of the film as it continues, each one building to the final scene. and god, what a finale - an incredible way to cap off a movie that seems to offer no “good” way out.
