I've come to this directly after watching the first, I liked the first, I thought this was the better film.
Being a prequel and a continuation, we are able put the pieces together, and there's is a lot of content to digest, plus a few surprises in store.
It perhaps lacks some of the scares and thrills of the first film, this has a less obvious horror, the scares here are somehow more subtle. I thought the set of monsters/killers looked great here.
Terrific music again, the costumes and sets look terrific, I preferred the 1970's setting, and I think they really did capture the time.
A more accomplished film, 7/10.
