Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival (2016)
Lucifer incites Heaven’s wrath by dispatching train cars of condemned souls a-crashin’ through the pearly gates. As God plots to put an end to the rebellious deeds, a fable is told, and the midway gets set for a fateful reunion between God’s Agent and Hell’s Painted Doll, promising to make sinner and saint alike scream Alleluia!

Lot's of incredible designs, costumes, concepts, etc. Unfortunately, the A-story is not all that compelling. Watchable, but does not deliver what fans had been hoping for over the long 5 year wait since the original. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
Unlike the first movie called The Devil's Carnival, this movie is longer in length and has more well known stars in this. However, this movie is like the first one. In fact, it is a continuation of the story so if you didn't like the first movie, you might not like this one as well. Personally after the first one, i was on board to see and listen to more from this carnival. The songs are great and ranging from heavenly songs that sounds like it came from the 50's to more darkly whimsical songs from the carnival crew. The story did take a dive with handling both the carnival and heaven scenes. But that still didn't stop some great songs helping you through the movie. As I mentioned in the first movie review, this is definitely something for those into horror musicals like Rocky Horror or even Sweeney Todd. Hopefully we get a conclusion to this epic tale of heaven and hell.
