I just watched this movie last night and found it absolutely phenomenal. I don't recall the last time a sequel improved from the original so thoroughly and noticeably.
The practical effects are amazing, the action never lets up enough to become boring, the pace is just right, and the acting from the protagonist and antagonist is stellar. It has no social commentary (nothing wrong with having that, but some movies are better off focusing on the action only), no attempts to be clever, and no unnecessary or tedious sequences. It's pure, undistilled slasher action.
I think this may be my favorite slasher since 1996's Scream. It's definitely not for those who can't stomach gore, though. It's extremely violent, to the point of being comically so at a few points.
Have you seen this movie yet?
