    ★★★½

    Didn't expect this film to make me cry so much. Within the first 15 minutes?! With two absolute bombshells?

    The added emotional depth and development on the main characters, especially Bridget, elevates this movie so much for me and I think has dome more to develop the character I think since the first movie.

    I think the themes of grief, learning to love and live again were incredibly heart warming. I think the ending of rhe film was so wholesome…

    Better than The Edge of Reason, but fails to really and anything new to the formula, despite evolving the characters slightly. It's entertaining for the run time at least and at least Jack was nice I guess. That Prince Andrew joke has aged like milk and I for one found it hilarious.

    Grotesque, tense, game changing horror cinema. I've seen this film a handful of times and it still kicks as hard now as it did the first time I watched it. Every time I find something new to appreciate, another reason to love it.
    The blood test scene is an absolute all timer, just some of the best horror put to the silver screen.
    Nobody does it it like John Carpenter.

    Genuinely one of the most terrifying sequences in this film is when Regan is having the scans at the hospital. They cut through the slow burn as her mother scrambles around for answers and she starts to lose faith in medicine and lose control over what's happening. All the loud noises and screaming, that one stream of blood from Regan's neck nd just how eerie and sterile it all is.

    That fear then travels home with Regan and we see…
