Something that caught my attention was that this sequal hyped up the original. Honestly it made me want to rewatch the first movie so I guess it worked. Each character added their own special element that made this more enjoyable, but Jeff was easily my favourite. Overall this movie was a little trippy, had a lot of jumps and repeats, but the attention to detail was phenomenal. Something I noticed that only hardcore horror fans may have noticed was a classic symbol from an older franchise. At 46:00, Erica lifts her shirt to reveal symbols carved into her abdomen. The main symbol is none other than the symbol of "Curse of the Thorn". For those of you who aren't familiar with this symbol, it originated in the movie "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1988)". Something else that I thought was awesome was "The Secret of Esrever". The Secret of Esrever was a genius puzzle that was hidden in the movie. This puzzle allowed the viewers to interact with the movie and also created a unique rewatch factor. To be blunt, this movie was awesome. There were so many unique aspects that I've never seen in movies prior. The atmosphere had a static feel to it, like sharp jumps and twitches. The writing was great and the cast was perfect.
