What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Nell enters treatment and transitional housing after her earlier possession, but recurring hauntings make recovery inseparable from supernatural danger.
The Order of The Right Hand presents itself as protection while invoking a prophecy of apocalypse and demanding Nell's trust.
Nell's new life in a New Orleans transition house, hotel workplace, and shared domestic environment is repeatedly invaded by evil.
The film's production and reception explicitly distinguish its relatively earnest psychological terror from the earlier installment's found-footage format.
