These rules occasionally include human sacrifice and Grace is chucked into a to-the-death game of hide and seek on her wedding night.
Unexpectedly Grace wins, killing the whole Le Domas family, but now this opens up a seat at the table of the global cabal of Satanists. Mr Le Bail's rules say she must contest for this.
CW: bloody violence throughout
Carrying on directly from the first movie this isn't a patch on it.
We get Kathryn Newton added as Grace's estranged sister Faith and a new bunch of evil poshos including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood.
It's just not as fun and in places the violence edges from slapstick to nasty. Some things happen for sequel-tastic or audience recognition reasons: Grace ends up back wearing the trashed wedding dress from the first movie and Sarah Michelle Gellar simply has to wield a stake at one point. There's a "comedy" fight at a wedding reception that just drags on and double the scream queens doesn't work. They're set up to bicker but the frenemy chemistry isn't there.
A real disappointment 5/10.
