Like "A Quiet Place", this high-concept genre film is not easy to make a sequel. Once the audience accepts the setting in the first part, it is difficult to get a fresh feeling from the sequel, so it needs to be added to the sequel. Some new elements to stimulate the audience. "Hold Your Breath 2" has two major changes compared to its predecessor. One is to increase the complexity of the plot. The old man picked up a little girl and raised her as an adult. Eight years later, the girl's father was released from prison and took the girl back and burned down the old man's house, but the girl found that the father found him In order to perform a heart transplant operation for his mother, because only the mother can make drugs, the old man found his father's foothold to take revenge and saved the girl. Two revenge stories are intertwined to increase visibility. One is the expansion of the scene. The first story takes place in the old man's house, and this one is from the old man's house to the home of the drug maker's father, and there are scenes of girls going to the town to play in the middle. From a relatively closed scene to an open scene, although the sense of space is vast, the sense of urgency is also reduced, because there is more room for people to breathe. A Quiet Place 2 also has this problem. Despite this, although "Hold Your Breath 2" is less fresh, it is still a good revenge action movie. The bloody and violent scenes have increased unabated. It seems to be true and decompressed, but it is a horror movie. .
