I loved the basic premise of using the police body cam as a witness to some supernatural horror story, and placing the police force at the centre of it.
The film carries its weight alright. You wouldn't be disappointed if all you are after is some passtime as a fan of the genre.
However, some greater opportunity might have been missed along the lines. Maybe the overall feel was too much soaked in racialism. Some more diversity (like, a few decent white cops) could have helped build the story in a better, less politically correct but more "correct" direction.
What with all the recent events following the George Floyd murder, the treatment of Afro-Americans by law enforcement is a hot topic and it is understandable that they have merged the more simple premise with that particular kind of tension.
Still, the same creative team can come up with a better sequel in case they keep the "police body cam" at the center of supernatural horror, and invest less in contemporary topics.
