To put into perspective, former Airport high school student Jose V. says, “This movie brings out the fear you thought you never had.”

According to Rotten Tomatoes, a website used for movie reviews and ratings, this movie only appeals to fans who have been waiting for a sequel. Although the ratings were low, It is not a true representation of the movie.This movie was better than the first one by a long shot, as most of the action scenes had incredible detail and you could tell lots of planning took place for the scene.

On a scale of one to ten, this movie deserves a solid nine. The way that the director incorporated 80’s pop music in the soundtrack added an extra level of creepiness to the antagonists. If you enjoy movies that make you jump, this one is sure to do so.
