The Devil's Toy Box

Just started watching this today on July 16th 2023 at 8:20 p.m. And so far I think they may be doing better then they did on first installment (7 nights of Darkness) but we will see and I will rate it at end and tell you all what I think and I'll give date and time when I am done also. So 9:19 p.m. Not sure how much longer is left but so much better then first installment and I hope you each watch this I'll write more shortly but absolutely plenty of twist and turns just one thing I hate is the negative they speak against Religion and faith on one segment or scene. But in closing I'll say this no one will regret watching this film but if you have not seen the first installment (7 nights of darkness) watch it or parts of this will not make sense. 9:45 p.m. July 16th 2023

I pray blessing and guidance unto all and ask that each take time to thank God for the life you have and by your actions show him your appreciation. Amen.

I know I'm one of the few fans of the original film, but I thought it was a lot of fun and I have no problem watching it over and over. I only recently discovered that it had a sequel and was thrilled....until I watched it. The fact that only three of the original cast members made appearances with two in very minimal scenes was an issue for me. The new cast were so dreadfully annoying that I couldn't wait for them to be picked off. The script was so far removed from the original concept of a haunted asylum that it really made little sense. The camera work was so grainy I couldn't see what was happening through much of the movie. The main complaint I have is that this film lacked all the charm of the original. I wish Kellog would have written a sequel that captured the spooky fun of the first. Hopefully, he doesn't gamble on a third.

If you're looking for a decent horror film with good jump scares or a great story line, then avoid this if you can.

This film features everything a bad horror film entails- bad acting, a terrible story line and less than mediocre jump scares. Sure, there's one instance where a jump scare got me but other than that this is one of the most bland horror films I've ever seen, and it features and overused concept that is dying out.

Let also not get past the fact that this film looks like it was made on a student budget, with the crew also serving as the actors (which explains the bad acting). Allan Kellogg should really rethink how he made this film, and given it was funded by Indiegogo I'm not surprised this didn't work out so well. Someone should scold his cinematographer for terrible camera angles.

To summarise this whole review, I would suggest avoiding this film if you see it on Netflix or Sky. I'd give it a 1 but I enjoyed one jump scare, as it's pretty much the only good thing about the film (Besides Wesley, of course, he was the only decent actor/character in the film.)

Meredith Kochan(plays Brooke) is by far the WORST actress I've ever seen. It truly doesn't get worse than that performance. Don't waste your time with this movie.

Such a great movie for a good old fashioned creep scare! My heart was definitely racing for some of those scenes. The natural acting of the cast made the point of view camera concept more believable. I am one to appreciate movies made to tell a story without having to spend a lot of money on too much theatrics and gore. Well done DTB! I will definitely watch it again!
