More terrifying and a big improvement from the first! An absolute gore fest of brutality. Just like the first it has great comedy, killer style and a whole lot of amazing practical effects. The kill scenes, the set and the costumes look great. There's Halloween costumes and decorations all throughout the movie which makes it the perfect Halloween movie. 2h18min is a lot and I think a lot of it could of been cut but I never felt bored. Watched it in one go.

Art the Clown is just as demented and violent as the first and we get to know him even better he feels more fleshed out. If he wasn't already a horror icon, he sure is now. He even gets a cool and intriguing sidekick which is a nice addition.

It sure has more story than the first and maybe that's why it had to be so long. The protagonist we get is cool and badass but sometimes she gets too much plot armor [spoiler](bathroom scene)[/spoiler]. Her story is ok but it's not compelling enough to justify the overlong runtime. I do like the character though.

The supernatural elements thrown in are welcome and add layers to the universe. I just hope they know how to dose it. The bedroom scene was my favorite I think it lives up to THAT scene from the first. Also the intro scene at the laundry place was awesome. I'm absolutely confused about the mid-credit scene, what the hell is happening?!
