The Houses October Built 2

I thought the ending was a great plot twist. I really don't get all the negative reviews. It had me fooled. I never saw that coming.

The first 'The Houses October Built' blew me away back in 2014. I went in with almost zero expectations and left astonished by how good it was. Did I have my hopes up for the sequel being able to live up to that same level? No, they almost never do after all particularly in the horror genre. Did I hope for more quality than I got though? Absolutely, this was bordering on one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Does it detract from what the original put forward? Unfortunately yes it does in a big way.

By about the 1 hour 15 minute mark I thought to myself: has anything actually happened yet? The answer was no. Sure we had seen some fun haunted houses (or hay rides apparently) and there was the weirdly edited shots of the clown masked guy following them, however this felt more like a documentary to that point than anything else. It was filler, plain and simple. It's absolutely unacceptable for a horror movie to run for an hour and 40 minutes with that little happening in the opening 75 minutes. No excuse for that whatsoever.

Then the big final sequence (or the pay off if you wish to call it that) begins and I think to myself: this better bloody be worth it. Well let me assure you it wasn't. It was poorly done, predictable and thought it was a hell of a lot smarter than it actually was. The editing was also very poor in that final sequence. Possibly the best done scene in the entire film was the very final one with the sign, however that had basically nothing to do with the film, so bravo. Please stay away from this film. Not only is it terrible, there's a very good chance it will ruin the original for you too. Yuck.

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.

But i could not agree more. It took me 3 days to watch this movie. I am pretty sure someone forgot to tell them to keep the people watching the movie, INTERESTED in watching the damn movie. At least blair witch 2 went off course when making their sequel. These morons basically put no creativity into the sequel they made what so ever. All they did was make a movie that won't, at least should not get a part 3

It honestly would have just been better if it were a show about the 5 of them just visiting haunted houses and attractions because that's literally what 90% of this film is. The first movie was similar but had a much more sinister ending that made up for the boring parts. This movie however truly served no purpose to even exist. Sure I guess Brandy is attractive enough but she's not carry an entire film attractive. This entire movie lacks a plot worth watching. It felt more like I was watching someone's youtube channel than an actual movie on a streaming network.
