When I saw it was a sequel to The Devil of Winterborne I was SO EXCITED as I loved that one, this however fell so flat. It could've done being a lot longer like Devil was, and the conclusion/ending just felt so rushed and anti-climactic. Quite disappointed this was the final story in the original run, as I really wanted to see Liz/Patsy develop more and yeah, ultimately consider me a fan despite it not being perfect I like the premise and wish it could be expanded on more.

I mean, generally this was pretty fun and I enjoyed watching, usually I'd give a 7/10, but the fact it makes The Devil of Winterbourne worse in retrospect is just really frustrating. It also doesn't have the moments that really make The Devil of Winterbourne work like the scarecrow there, so it just falls a bit flat. I like coming back to the location and seeing the repurcussions of that first film, but overall it's just fine. JayPea View profile Like Liked 4 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
