After having her third eye opened, enabling her to see the dead, Alia (Jessica Mila) begins work at an orphanage. And whaddya know... it's haunted!
Director Rocky Soraya is clearly a believer in the old adage 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', because this sequel is almost identical to his 2017 movie, a mix of spooky elements borrowed from a whole host of other ghostly horror movies. The structure is exactly the same as before: supernatural occurrences, a mystery involving an unsolved murder, possession, and a trip to the other side via astral projection. If, like me, you watch the two films back to back, the sequel does become rather tedious.
At almost two hours long, the creepiness leads to boredom, although it's worth hanging in there for the final act (or skipping forwards), Soraya delivering a real doozy of a decapitation via rotary saw.
As with the first film, this one ends in a manner that lets us know that another sequel is a definite possibility: I just hope that the formula isn't the same next time around and that the runtime is a little shorter.
