Yes, Abalam is back to torture Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell), the innocent, deeply religious young woman who went through both spiritual and physical contortions in the 2010 breakout hit. After a brief recap featuring scenes from the original film, Nell -- who somehow survived its fiery climax is seen terrorizing a young couple in their home, after which she is promptly whisked off to a New Orleans halfway house for troubled girls. There, she's introduced to such joys as hard-rock music on an iPod, the exotic spectacle of Mardi Gras and a burgeoning attraction to a nice young man who returns her interest. |
