The original, writen and directed by Fede Alvarez was good. Some overdone ideas, but very good directed, and I like that one very much.
This sequel has nothing to do with the original besides its main character. It's a whole new story, all set in a different time and space. At first may seems a bit confusing but doesn't take long for the main plot to emerge.
But here's the thing... A movie has this freedom to build situations that in real life wouldn't happen at all. The problem is when the high level of absurdity is there only to justify things that the writer was unable to create by other means. And that is very much obvious when the iron box is filled with water and no water scapes at all. Then, Norman breaks its door when it's supposed to be unbreakable from the outside.
Entire conflict is around a girl who was stollen from their parents by Norman. They kill and burn down entire Norman's house because of her. After taking her back, her real dad gives her the option to stay with them as a family or leave, and she decides to leave, but then she is kidnapped again by her own dad because her real mother is dying from a heart condition, and the only way to be saved is transplant her daughter's heart to her.
That's so insane that I just couldn't keep watching this freak show after that. Please writers, stop doing things like that.
And please, stop making sequels when ideas are as bad as this one. Seeing a lot of beople rating this movie as "good" makes me think about when people did start enjoying stupid plot twits and decisions that lead nowhere but only to serve the free gore and violence.
This movie is crap, and the creepy main character, which was a criminal in the first movie, is now a hero. Well done people!
