Quartile rating: 5/10 · 1 rating
40 years after the first haunting at Eel Marsh House, a group of children evacuated from WWII London arrive, awakening the house's darkest inhabitant.
A formulaic sequel that recycles the haunted house beats of its predecessor without adding meaningful new dimensions. The WWII evacuation setting provides mild atmospheric interest and the cinematography captures the bleak marsh environment competently, but the plot is thin and predictable, the acting is unremarkable, and the ending fails to deliver a satisfying or memorable payoff. Novelty is low as it essentially retreads familiar ground from the first film with diminished returns.
