When I started watching this, I realized that I couldn’t really remember what had happened in the first one, but I did remember liking it. This though, it just tries too hard to establish some sort of “world” for the franchise, focusing too much on powers and the otherworld, instead of on creepiness and scares. There were some interesting bits – how early elements are later explained by who was responsible for what – but I can’t say that I really liked it much, and I’m not interested in watching Chapter 3 now.
