In 2020, Netflix released a Polish supernatural horror film titled Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight. The movie had all of the right things - good acting, a decent plot, and an interesting twist that made you wonder where the characters would go. Thankfully, the sequel came out recently and I am dying to see what they do.

Despite being a police officer, Adas (Mateusz Wieclawe) is a rather meek person. When he arrives at the station, Adas finds both Zosia (Julia Wieniawa-Narkiewicz) and the brothers locked up. As they wait for a more capable unit to arrive, Sergeant Waldek (Andrzej Grabowski) takes Zosia back to the house to figure out what exactly happened in the massacre. At the house, the meteorite transforms Zosia into one of the monsters. Is this the end for humanity?

Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight 2 takes a different turn from not only the original but most horror movies in general. Like most horror movies, the first one was about the victims, how they died, and how they tried to get away from the murderers. This time the movie focuses more on the monsters. I thought it was an interesting change of pace.

This is a difficult one to recommend. I liked it but there are a lot of people that thought it was too slow and didn’t focus on the killing as much. Which is true. It is a little slow and there aren’t a ton of murders. However, I thought that seeing the monster relationships was different. If you are into that sort of thing, you’ll probably like this sequel. (You should watch the first for context though.) But if you are looking for something more bloody, this isn’t where you will find it.
