Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Memorable, crazy movie

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The film opens with kind of a creepy, promising narrative given by the actress (Jackie Weaver) who played the daughter in All in the Family whose haggard appearance is perhaps the most frightening aspect of the movie. Here's how it pans out: main 18-year-old dude goes for a good old fashioned stroll through the snowy woods and finds a girl in the freezing cold with no jacket crying about something she won't reveal. Next night, she ends up in the bed of our main guy—she sneaks on in there, by the way, and he wakes up to find her there, and is just like yeah, sure, no problem, and promises to protect her. Two jump scares and a cheap CGI character aren't enough to hold this movie up, and by the time you get to the end, nobody's motivations make any sense, living or dead, and are inconsistent to say the least. STOP now if you want to be surprised, because here comes the spoiler, and while there are several plot holes and unanswered questions, this is the one that irks me: if that girl from the woods is the daughter of Jackie Weaver's now-dead husband and his mistress, the fact that the girl says her mother died obviously holds up. The fact that she has a drunk dad who beats her...that's clearly not her birth dad, right, because the ghost comes for the birth dad too, in the movie's cold open? And we don't get to see the dad's face when the kid comes to check on the girl for a reason, as it's very obviously blurred, making you think that it will somehow become relevant. It doesn't. Did someone decide "meh, that's good enough" when they went back and realized they had to cover their tracks when it came to one of the most important plot elements of the film—which, seriously, leads to nothing—the fact that her dad beats her? Also, um, for what reason does this ghost want to kill the 'biological' dad in the beginning? Weren't they in love? What did he do wrong? I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and guess that it's because he sat there like an idiot watching his wife about to slit this woman's throat without making a move to stop her.Then again, I sat there like an idiot watching all 87 minutes of this nonsense, so I guess that makes us even. Oh, and the ghost lets one person live: THE WOMAN WHO KILLED HER. REALLY? YOU'RE KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN BUT SHE'S GOOD TO GO? Also, way to go framing your daughter for murder and getting her sent to jail, ghost lady! You are totally crushing it when it comes to getting that vengeance of yours on everyone except the one person you should be concerned with.IFC Midnight is really starting to drop the ball.

The set-up isn't bad, but the "grand finale" takes a shovel-full of dung and hurls it straight into the viewers' faces. I've seen many ghost flicks with dumb and/or illogical ghosts, but this she-ghost is the stupidest slag of them all. This particular she-ghost has no qualms whatsoever about brutally slaying innocent adolescents and children – but does spare the life of the woman who slit her throat! How's that for stupid, huh?Not only does she-ghost kill everyone in the woman's family – except the woman who murdered her – but she also kills the 18 year-old kid who never did anything to her. Are we to believe that all haunting ghosts get free lobotomies before entering the netherworld of ghost-haunting? Do people's IQs drop by 50 points after they enter the realm of the spirit world? That must be the case, at least according to the lazy, illogical clown who wrote this messy script. OK, fine, nobody's ever offered actual studies of average IQs of any spirit world (Jewish, Islamic or Christian), but if they're all as dumb as zombies, then spirits are nothing more than mindless animals going for the kill. What's interesting about that? They might as well then make yet another film about killer bees or killer bunnies.We've been programmed and trained by bad horror film-makers since our adolescence to accept that ghosts should be irrational and stupid. But why? Handing out low IQs to ghosts just serves to make them suitable for comedy. Perhaps they could have added a few gags here and there, and made a comedy horror. It would have been unfunny, as nearly all horror spoofs are, but at least that approach makes some sense.

This movie just goes from "interesting" to "uh.. that was it?", REALLY fast.It starts with typical "family moves into a haunted house" bit but it feels like movie tries to copy clichés only and is happy not following through different sub-plots. For example, you might think that a young girl talking to a herself alone in her room & scratching family member's eyes from a photo will lead to something really messed up later on.. but then you'd be wrong since movie doesn't do anything with that setting, doesn't progress it at all.It's like the director had a list of horror cliché's to add and that was it.Also, this movie throws in so many jump "scares" that you will soon start predicting the next jump. It's ridiculous, not scary at all.The only positive thing out of it is that the atmosphere during horror sequences was actually well done. The acting wasn't exactly bad as well.

A film which was not promising at first, which I have stumbled upon accidentally, proved to be very thrilling. The acting is very satisfying, I would say go ahead for everyone who wants to get psyched a little. Managed to scare me here and there, but really scare me, something almost no horror movie managed to do. Although the concept maybe a tad washed up: haunted house which has gone through a tragedy and a new family moving in, plus a creepy daughter in the new family, it does tend to jump off a little and not exactly follow the clichés. As I sad previously, highly recommendable and a real pleasure to watch. Definitely one of the best horror flicks I have watched recently.
