The Houses October Built 2

Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of the first movie so much that I have seen it 3 times. Actually I am a big fan of haunted houses-found footage-halloween movies like Hellhouse LLC etc. But this one...omfg. This one was a disaster...same story to the detail,characters were thin and you didn't feel any sympathy for them like in the prequel,acting was terrible,payed too much attention to the attractions and the actual plot start 80mins into the movie.Also the ending was terrible and the drone parts ridiculous. I didn't ever expect to say it for a movie of this kind but I wasted 105 minutes of my life.

I really liked the first one but this one is crap in comparison.

No scares, AT ALL, unless maybe you are 10, home alone with it storming outside and all the lights out, even then I doubt it.

Look at some of my other recommendations by clicking on my username and navigating to my horror movie ratings.

This one is a PASS for sure.

After truly enjoyable first Hauses horror, this movie was really disappointing. To be honest it felt more like a long advertisement of various real life horror attractions than a movie. Very slow, no real pay off at the end. Pass on this one.

My rating for the first: 7/10. This one I'd give 5.5/10 if I could.

Without going into the plot I feel like they tried too hard to get into character development while utilizing newer technologies. Neither of which help the story, actually making it worse.

I agree with others that it's not as scary, however, I still like it a bit because it's the same actors. That said I couldn't, in good standing, recommend it to someone else.

Though the first movie was hardly spectacular it was original and certainly memorable. It told the story of a group of friends who went on a road trip to various "Halloween horror houses". Basically horror attractions, which really do exist and I find fascinating.

Their adventure ended badly last time but here they have picked themselves up, dusted themselves off and are doing it again.

Now last time it was a successful slow build, this time it's a very slow build with no real payoff. What I mean by that is the movie is presented in a documentary form and remains like that for 9/10 of the film so very little actually happens. If you're interested in these horror haunts however you'll have a blast as they are the real thing including the Zombie Pub Crawl and Zombie Run which are annual events.

The movie does have a fantastic twist but I think it was handled very poorly. Top that off with the distinct lack of actual movie content and I found this to be a huge let down. I went in with expectations and they simply weren't met.

Once again it has a real charm and is very original, but just doesn't entertain like it should have. I'd love to see a third and final part to meet its potential and finish the story.

The Good:

Great idea

Very original

The Bad:

Some weird cinematography choices

The behaviour of the characters is simply not believable

More a faux documentary than an actual movie

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I'd love to do a roadtrip of these things!
