This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Sadly Over-hyped
Excellent, a Must See
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreEverything is wrong with this movie: Actors are terrible and their performance is just fake.The script is non-sense;Specials effects... no words for that... my brother did a job in ellementary school better than this.The only horror I found was on me while watching this!Please, don't waste your time watching this movie.
View MoreSo the movie starts out assuming the first installment was a box office hit. Everyone is literally losing their minds at some convention with the actors.I watched the first one maybe like a year ago, along with 4 other movies of the same title and plot, so first I had to figure out who was who.After we watch stuttering Sally botch an already botched question, we delve a little into her character development. According to dialogue in the script she is weird and reserved, according to assumption shes an actor straight out of a B-List acting academy. She befriends some popular kids from her college (establishing a high-schoolesque hierarchy). There's the blonde popular one who wants to befriend the outsider, the standard gay friend who is snarky and talks about boys 24/7, and like 2 other girls who have maybe a line. They all get tickets to the big even hosted by the actors, and then we don't see them for 60 minutes.After they run around trying to set scene and make character connections that fall flat, we learn of some sort of history behind Ouija boards. Which is false information, and they back it up by the common myth that Ouija boards are gateways for demons.To keep it simply, like 2 people die, I forgot how cause I got distracted (which isn't hard during this blockbuster fiasco), but apparently it wasn't memorable.After awhile of the same situations and bland dialogue that drags around with no endgame, we meet some crazy cop. The cop is a small town cop so obviously he's mysterious, creeping, and having adult relations with a relative (it's mentioned in the movie, trust me). Because small towns are full of weirdos and no one normal would live anywhere past the city limits of Los Angeles, of course.Near the beginning of the event starting, we see the token black friend womanizer getting cozy with some girls, which we assume are random girls. Come to find out they are the girls (and standard gay friend) that received the ticket! Man, they sure stood out!During the tour, someone smokes pot and drinks (as that rebel character does in all B-List horror flicks) and makes someone mad. Then we find one of the main character cut in half.The rest of the movie is basically the weird girl and the popular girl running around from the murderer and ghost. The movie decides to wrap up with an unfinished ending (not a cliffhanger mind you). And I was left with 3 finished martinis, and a headache.The credits roll with names we never heard of, and probably never will.
View MoreSome things are better left dead... Being that I saw the first one, my expectations for this wasn't really high. The first one was low-budget, cheap scares, shaky camera, etc... It looked like the aborted fetus from a paranormal activity film... But it still provided a decent amount of scares and dialogue. However the same can not be said for this 2nd installment. Disclosure: this film was shot in 2wks! *i don't know if they were huffing paint or a real ghost came & ruined up the set, so they threw caution to the wind & gave us what we got.. The dialogue was short, choppy, & did not translate well to the audience. The CGI looked like they paid a college student $5 and a subway sandwich to edit because it appeared cheap & pasted. Please save your time & don't watch this film. I only recommend this if you are a student and need to know what NOT to do..
View MoreI watched the first film, and while it wasn't good, it wasn't awful, either. Their bit about Oujia boards was complete garbage, but it was mildly entertaining. This film, we lose any charisma the characters might have had in the first film, stripping them of any personality and leaving only the most annoying traits of the character archetype they represent. One thing I have to mention, why did the 'actor' Eric Window have the comb in his hair during the movie? It was so incredibly annoying. Anytime he was on screen, I could only stare at the comb and wish for his character's bloody and painful death. I say 'actor' because there was no acting in this film. Calling it acting is an insult to high school plays everywhere. The actor who played the friend of the girl who wins tickets is so painfully bad I hope this was just a lark for him and not a potential career. There isn't anything scary, the script is an embarrassment, and the performances were so bad, you have to hope it was intentional. If you liked any of the characters in the first movie, just wait, you will hate them in minutes of starting this film. Horror movies are often lacking in several ways, so I tend to review them on a more lenient scale. One star for this movie is as generous as I can get. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend the first, as it also had some secondary actors (the expert on the Ouija board is pretty cringe-worthy) lacking skill, the main characters were okay, if not the most likable people in the world, I definitely wouldn't recommend this addition. It does not have any redeeming qualities. Sometimes, you can survive a bad horror movie by making a drinking game out of it. Unless you want liver failure, you can't even try it with this movie. Maybe I am being too critical, but if you put a product into the market with such low quality and no pretense of an effort, I have trouble being diplomatic. I hope no one associated with this movie continues in this field. Horror movies generally are lower budget, which means creativity and ingenuity are essential, and this movie had neither.
