I watch very few horror movies

The horror point is still well grasped. The first half is quite relaxed, with both high energy and horror in the middle, but the plot is really not as good as the first one.

1. The first half supports the importance of family and affection in overcoming supernatural events, but at the end of the exorcism, for the role of the protagonist and his wife, this theme was directly abandoned, and the family became a background board

2. After the video was filmed, the protagonist, who could stay for a little longer to confirm, left so decisively that the video itself was unreasonable. The reason for moving out was that we were the church agents, no Being cast out will also be recalled by the church. Please, you don't receive church wages, what can you do if you don't leave?

3. The grandfather's story is just an outline, without any substance, the ghost nun is better, and it has no background at all, and it just appeared out of thin air. There are four ghosts in the previous work, and the stories between them are all connected. There is a clear background to support the purpose of the boss, but there is no such thing in this one.

4. The previous work also found the real name and then exorcised. This protagonist seems to realize this is the key point for the first time. And what is the ghost nun doing, the grandfather only dares to play dumb riddles and can't directly say the name, but she herself told the name to the heroine in the illusion? And then obediently wait to be expelled?

5. Forced into the element of God's kindness, but I don't see where he is kind. It is man who saves, not God.

There are also some details that are not logical, such as the little girl teleporting into a locked room, which can't be used as evidence, so what else can be used as evidence? If there is any other explanation, the movie does not explain it at all. Others, such as the locked rooms are desperately slammed there without taking the key, the axe does not cut the door lock but only cuts the door, and a flash of lightning directly smashes a tree... It makes people want to complain.

    This dead ghost is not only very honest in body, but also very honest in mouth. Hey, the nun's tricks are well compiled. It's very creative to take portraits in the daytime, but she has been bullying children for 100 minutes. This kind of routine is not very good.

    The degree of shock and creativity are inferior to the first one, but it is still very good-looking, especially it is rare to have a very high consistency with the first one. Also for me it became a pleasure to watch the camera movement in Vancouver.
