I must say, I was expecting a lot worse from this film. The whole first half is genuinely scary, inside the castle, the catacombs, all of them, liked the scene where he is making his weapons, it feels both a sequel and a prequel.
Second the atmosphere, yes there is gore, but the movie doesn't focus on that, it focuses on tension and suspense.
Third, the characters, they are well acted, well developed,and feel real.
The effects are great, and so is the main villain, the Creeper, this time around we see that he comes from hell, which makes him even more scary, the setting was good, and the pacing was awesome.
