Unusually for a horror (especially a sequel), the deaths are dwelt on at an emotional level and not just gory kills. Sometimes expiring in front of their loved ones, you actually don’t want these people to die, even if the throat-slashing scene is especially cool! It’s something that has been missing from most slasher films for some time. It also makes for a couple of gut-punch plot-twists along the way. Along with that, the dialogue and reactions are believable and witty, without resorting to blatant cussing and F-Bombs. “You’d think he’d have bought me dinner first” quips Amy, as she wipes away the blood, that’s been ejaculated onto her by a character giving a “death-rattle”. Even the conflicts and relationships ring true. The friend-zone romance between Amy and Seth is surprisingly sweet, and an argument between Amy and Will would slot nicely into a non-genre drama without sticking out as being hokey. Also, kudos to the sisters for having a wheel-chair bound character in the film, and not using the situation for obvious laughs, gore, or sentimental reasons. The two leading ladies knock it out of the ball-park as well. Harris is unequivocally the “alpha” character (despite her diminutive size next to the 7ft Jacobs), and is excellent in both face-off scenes and the “quiet” moments. In addition to that, Isabelle is just an absolute delight. Totally at home with the material, she’s flirty, wacky, and heart-breaking as the “bad-girl” Tamara. Her rat-a-tat line-delivery is at full-force here, and she even makes the act of fleeing down an empty corridor into an incidental acting master-class. By comparison, Jacobs is imposing as Goodnight, and does get the chance to emote a little. He roars the occasional line, and gets the opportunity to cry over his mother’s corpse. youvegotredonyou/#!see-no-evil-2/c1yvx
