6/10
Definitely need that third film to be made.

This sister sequel to He Never Died is about Lacey, who is the immortal one with superhuman strength and the hunger for human meat. Godfrey is an honest cop who is after Terrence, assuming he is the one to run the human trafficking. After knowing what Lacey can do, Godfrey reaches out to her with a proposal where she gets to take down Terrence & co in return for her hunger to be taken care. During this, Lacey happens to save Suzie and they form a bond. With Terrence not being the one running the human trafficking, how do the baddies put themselves up against Lacey forms rest of the story.

Just like He Never Died, this too follows the same template with a more gore friendly villain. Lacey is again a one toned character, keeping the suspense around her identity intact till the very end. Despite the minimal budget, it offers decent action scenes and without much deviation in terms of sub plots as well as bare minimum characters, it stays engaging as well. The short runtime helps and it's those rare instance where you don't expect any backstory or character arc for the supporting characters. So this largely works, focusing only on Lacey getting loose and doing her thing until that climax reveal, setting up the story for a third film, which honestly we definitely deserve to watch.
