The sequel or as it is revealed at the hour mark, the prequel is really strong for majority of its runtime. Showing the audience a "fairer" system of the prison and the problems that come with it. It works well to set-up the "all you can eat" mentality of the original however, it tries hard to make its ending ambiguous like the original. While the inclusion of the child in the original was foreshadowed quite a lot, the sequel just throws in a creepy children's playground to bring about the same message of "saving the next generation" however, any inclusion of the message does not take into consideration lore to justify it and the ambiguity around it is just confusing rather than intriguing.
Overall, it's a good watch but it could have ended so much better.
