The people around her are decent and supportive but with her history of drug use she is under the microscope and nobody will prescribe her the strong painkillers she thinks she needs even though she's made real progress on staying clean.
In desperation she goes to an old school friend who's her occasional drug dealer to get something to tide her over.
No good will come of this.

Despite good reviews I was sceptical a direct sequel to Parker Finn's weird concept horror would work but it does in spades.
The premise is identical: something ineffable which presents as a smiling person is coming to terrorise, possess then kill you and nobody else can see it. Does it even exist? Which is a big overlap with It Follows and various other things.
What makes this is Naomi Scott's astonishing work. She is every inch the perfect glossy singing, dancing pop star where often people in these roles can't convince. Then as things starts to slide she becomes the messy, blood and snot covered insomniac chaos goblin. She's in every minute of it, really quite a performance and the later scenes with the backing dancers in particular are amazing.
It's tense, scary and surprising: another horror delight 8/10.
