It starts with a reenactment of the first movie, then continues right to the point where it ended to begin this sequel. A big difference in this movie is the main character actually is aware of what is happening this time and tries to combat it immediately. With some very wonderful camerawork and angles used, a unique flair unseen in other horror movies is presented to the audience.
The lore regarding the Book of the Dead from the first movie is expanded upon when our hero meets up with the daughter of the researcher mentioned in the first movie. This world building helps make the plot feel like it has more depth than a typical scary movie. As per the first film, many bizarre and bloody things happen to the characters once again. The effects in the movie are greatly improved this time around, with stop motion animation and animatronics galore. The movie ends on an absurd yet curious note which I won't give away.
One thing I liked which may turn off some viewers would have to be the tone of the movie. Unlike most conventional horror flicks, this one has a strong presence of both action and comedy. Even with the regular horror elements of paranormal activity and murder happening, the comedy and action are there throughout which may annoy a viewer. However, it manages to blend it perfectly and not have the moods conflict but rather compliment each other. There's no way to explain it, but to experience it.
Final Verdict: Yellow Light, if you are open to experimental things, try out The Evil Dead 2.
