What critics said
Critics broadly regard the sequel as poorly constructed supernatural horror whose weak storytelling is offset for some viewers by campy, so-bad-its-good entertainment.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Micah and the hidden children of Gatlin are tied to He Who Walks Behind The Rows.
The secluded Nebraska town and its cornfields are the primary sites of menace and violence.
The plot returns to Gatlin eight years after the original film and revives its supernatural entity.
Aggregate reception and the cited critical description emphasize its so-bad-its-good entertainment value.
