Horror sequels trust discomfort. When a horror film hits, the instinct is not always to protect what made it unsettling. Some tone down the original’s violence, while others try to recapture what made the first one a hit. But films like Friday the 13th Part II take a drastically different villainous turn, while A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge turns the original’s trauma into a performance. And Evil Dead II turned the first one’s stark horror into a biting comedy. But for many, the goal is to be original while capturing the spirit of the first one.
