This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"Welcome, contestants, to the world's most dangerous game." Criminally dull Saw variation, Are You Scared 2?, a sequel of sorts to a film that didn't deserve one to begin with, has Tony Todd stuck inside a little room watching screens, monitoring four backpacking college students participating in a game in the hopes of attaining money they can spend in Miami. The four young adults are in for a surprise as Todd has sadistic killers carving up those unfortunate victims who happen to follow a map to his large building in the middle of nowhere (a former Wildlife Reserve Headquarters, now abandoned, the perfect kill factory for sick puppies like Todd and his partners-in-slay).What this film has going for it (the only thing, really) is Tony Todd who can convey menace in his sleep, with effortless ease and the director shoots him up close often (if you ever wanted to see lots of cigarette smoke steam from out of Todd's mouth, this film is for you). The photography is ugly and claustrophobic, at times the camera is shaky and most often in the faces or just below their chins looking up at them, the characters follow a type of GPS tracker (provided by Todd along with flashlights), leading them to their destination, but they need to hurry because the killers are on their tail. They are the "blue dots" on the tracker, their pursuers are the "red dots". The tracker will signify how close the killers are in proximity of them. The building is booby-trapped, murky, with lots of doors and rooms, easy to get lost in as Todd fools with the lights often to disorient the contestants. Add the killers to the mix and the contestants are up against it. While it might seem according to the synopsis to be a rather taut, exciting "hunting humans" thriller, it isn't really. Todd spends almost all of his screen time (well, not almost, all) in a little room with his screens, wine, cigarettes, and camera controls, sometimes amused, sometimes rather troubled, most times studiously watching his rats in a maze trying to get out. There's a ton of traveling throughout a building, going from one room to another, looking for the much coveted exit. The GPS tracker, though, seemingly a helpful device is actually a hindrance. When you see giraffes turn up as the hunted kids run around on the outside hoping to find their vehicles, a religious nutso who feels compelled to kill, a giant in a skull mask with a penchant for cutting into the flesh of lovelies, and Todd chatting with his pet turtle, you kind of know what you are in for. Not as entertaining as all that, however, as my description is deceiving. This has bad quick editing, a camera that wants to make us disoriented but just causes aggravation and nausea, and plenty of a couple's syrupy romance tested and enduring all of the nightmarish events transpiring. Worse yet, it takes quite a while before the four get to the damn building and even then, there's precious lacking of thrills. While the directors love to shoot bloody wounds, the camera rarely stays still long enough to have any sort of impact on the viewer. Skip it and do yourself a favor.

Are You Scared 2 starts as internet gamers 'Team DNA' who comprise of four teen friends Dallas (Tristan Wright), Andrew (Chad Guerrero), Reese (Kathy Gardiner) & Taryn (Andrea Monier) are heading towards a world record as they find some sort of hidden cache. With millions of subscribers all around the world their real life hunts for hidden cases are popular viewing on the internet, to break the record Team DNA need to find & recover a cache case hidden by rival team 'Ultimate Doom' & use a portable GPS tracker to locate it in a large abandoned mansion in the middle of a wildlife reserve. However Team DNA walk right into a trap set up by a mysterious controller (Tony Todd) who capture the four friends & pits them against a sadistic killer which he them records & streams on-line for anyone with enough money to watch the slow torture & killing of Team DNA one-by-one...Written & directed by the pairing of John Lands & Russell Appling I presume that this wasn't originally intended to be a direct sequel to the surprisingly decent Are You Scared? (2006) as it was shot under the title's Tracked & Geohunt, I would suspect that Lionsgate picked the film up & decided to market it as sequel even though the two have little in common & this feels more like a teen slasher than a Saw (2004) style killer trap film & quite frankly it sucks. Basically these annoying teens turn up at this abandoned house for very dubious reasons which they then can't seem to get out of while a couple of guy's try to kill them while Tony Todd watches on drinking tea, watering his plants & talking to tortoises. There's never any background given to the killers who to be fair only kill a couple of people, in the fact the amount of bad guy's that get killed equals the amount of of teen victims. There's some head scratching scenes like when these teens seem to be trapped inside this house but there are clearly unprotected windows that they could smash & simply climb out of, it's incredibly boring & at 90 odd minutes in length it feels more 90 hours as it drags on towards a predictable & tame ending. None of the events in Are You Scared are thought through & it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense with paper thin character's, terrible dialogue, awful 'computer graphics' & a game that is no more complex than these teens having to find a way out of this house. The film tries to say something about our fascination with death & that the internet has made it easier to fuel our fantasies but it has zero impact as it's lost in a crappy script that just sucks & bores.The main thing I want to know is where did the '?' go from the title? I mean the first film Are You Scared? was grammatically correct but Are You Scared 2 misses the '?' for some reason, maybe someone forgot or was so stupid they didn't know you put a question mark at the end of a question. There's not much gore here, there's a bit of blood splatter, a knife wound or two, an impalement & that's about it. Annoyingly shot like a home film there's no style or atmosphere & it looks cheap from start to finish.With a supposed budget of about $750,000 I'd like to ask where all the money went? Maybe on Tony Todd's embarrassing cameo in which he gets to talk absolute nonsense & never leave the same room. Apparently filmed in Baton Rouge in Louisiana. The acting is poor with half the credited cast members of the production crew with the first victim played by the wardrobe supervisor while the 'hulking brute' was played by the special effects guy & production designer.Are You Scared 2 is a rubbish no budget horror film that plays like a terrible teen slasher with a low body count, no nudity, no humour & supposed satire that fails miserably. One to avoid, even fans of the original should steer well clear of this.

Messy film about a bunch of people using GPS to find a hidden treasure as part of game. They are unaware that they have been set up by a killer who is filming there every move. One of the worst films I've seen in quite awhile. Its construction as a series of video feeds really doesn't work since results in a these oddly connected series of scenes from unnatural angles. It would help if there were a real sense of a story, but its not really there. Its more a plot synopsis that looks to have been written illegibly on a torn envelope so the resulting film is utterly incoherent except in the broadest of terms. Its stupid people in peril. I'd like to say that the gore effects are good, but I have stress nothing else in this film is.

This movie got to be the worst movie i seen. The acting sucks. At first I thought it would bed good. ANd I didn't even get the ending. This movie just sucks. If you want to see this movie do yourself a favor a don't see it. There is a reason I gave it a 1 out of 10. I don't like it because they made stuff look oblivious that it isn't real. I love scary movies but this 1 sucks so much I can't even believe it. It was a waste of a hour and a half of my life. Kung Fu Panda is better than this movie. Its funny how bad this movie is. I only saw this movie because it was Friday the 13th and I wanted to watch a scary movie. But I wish I din't see this movie. And good thing I only rented it. Whatever you do don't see this movie.
