Here we have a large group of [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters perfectly human]] cyber criminals who traffick in snuff movies and proves to be ten times worse than Laura Barnes since they have no excuse for their actions besides greed and sadism.

Stories of snuff films being on the Dark Web are most likely grossly embellished if true at all.


* TruthInTelevision: All the things depicted in the videos on the laptop are indeed real things that can be found on the Darkweb. Even the murder, assassinations, and human trafficking. Also messing around with the Darkweb without taking proper precautions can easily expose you to the people lurking there.
** In particular the act of "SWAT'ing" (making a fake emergency call to sic the police on someone) depicted is doubly impactful when you consider that the previous year before this movie was released a man was killed in Wichita, Kansas in a similar incident.

In contrast to the first film, none of the characters in this one did anything to deserve their deaths and torture at the hands of the Charons, except Mathias taking an abandoned laptop. [[spoiler:And this was something that the Charons actually '''wanted''' to happen.]]

Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: The whole premise of the film: Finding a laptop owned by a criminal or criminal organization and realizing that the owner wants it back and will do ANYTHING they want to you to get it back. What's worse is there are real life horror stories about the dark web that aren't very different from what happens in this film.

** [[spoiler: Nari's death is a bit more complex. The Circle member attacks her on the subway platform and in the ensuing struggle they both tumble onto the tracks and get run over by the incoming train. The audience knows it was a murder, however a casual observer or investigator reviewing the incident who doesn't know of the Circle's existence might be forgiven for thinking the Circle member was trying to stop Nari from jumping onto the tracks and became an unfortunate casualty trying to foil her suicide bid. Adding to the confusion, it's likely the Circle member didn't expect her to put up a resistance which would lead to their death as well.]]

* HellIsThatNoise: Just like in the previous movie, a low continuous droning noise is heard whenever Norah or the Circle are preparing something insidious, with the noise stopping in many cases moments before things go pear-shaped. There is also a distinct "DUNN!" sound that plays when the villains contact Matias and his friends over The River, and corrupted versions of usual DM sounds when they contact Matias over Facebook.


Added DiffLines:

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: {{Subverted}}. The Circle's methods are mundane, but one could be forgiven for thinking they had preternatural abilities at their disposal, given the OminousVisualGlitch that accompanies their appearances, the way they seem to appear out of thin air in some videos, and the supernatural premise of the [[Film/{{Unfriended}} previous film]].


Added DiffLines:

* OminousVisualGlitch: Norah and the other members of the Circle create visual glitches on webcams when they appear, obscuring their identities.
