A Haunted House 2

If you like the first "A Haunted House" movie, then you will also like this one, because it is initially the same kind of spoofy comedy in a genre that just won't die.

The comedy is fast paced and right up to par with the comedy seen in the first movie. And Marlon Wayans do pull it off nicely enough. While this is a comedy, it is not the kind that will have you bursting out in laughter while tears trickle down your cheeks. I think I only laughed once actually. But that being said, the movie isn't bad, nor is it boring. The comedy is good and serves the movie right. The comedy here is the type that will brighten up your mood and put a smile on your face.

Similar to the first movie, an entity is haunting Malcolm and making his life a living hell, especially when no one believes him as things escalate out of control.

I enjoy these spoof movies and always have, and this one is one of the better ones, especially because it is making fun of the ghost and horror genres of movies.

Like the first movie, I am rating "A Haunted House 2" a 6 out of 10 stars.

I didn't want to give 7/10, but 6/10. The main reason is because most people didn't quite appreciate this movie.

This is just another form of comedy (such as "meet the spartans") which "most" people don't want to understand. The kind of movie where you spoil everything, really everything and it turns out to be really hilarious!

You can't go to the cinema and watch this film and expect nice little laughs like other typical Hollywood comedies. This is totally different.

Compared to the previous episode, well many similar sequences. Won't place spoilers, but quite repeating. Still very funny.

The main actor did a wonderful job at making this movie really funny.

The cast consists of more or less same people from the 1st episode.

Contains plenty of swearing, racial words, very direct interracial swearing, some nudity, violence.

Mixed up parody of several movies together, all bundles into having a good time laughing. Never had such a laugh with typical Hollywood comedy.

If you didn't laugh at the beginning of this movie, well, don't continue, you won't like it. But if you had a laugh, then just don't blink :D

Cheers, an absolute must-watch when u want some good laughs.

Typical wayans spoof movie... best to watch with some alc..... but always enjoyable

The movie is the sequel of the last year's well known horror film parody by Marlon Wayans. It could have been guessed easily, because if we were talking about „scary movies", than the name of the Wayans brothers come into everybody's mind immediately. For me they form a duo, only whose face is enough to being seen on a movie poster to get myself excited about the actual production. It was also the same situation with this movie, but the final result has ended up with a medley packed with hard mix of emotions.

Marlnon Wayans is still hilarious for me, and I think it will never change. Overall I consider the movie a really good entertainment, however the notorious comic actor has some really weird moments when he successfully managed to not poorly exaggerate and overdo his role. Sometimes when something was humorous at the beginning turned out to be a vigorous effort by the end, which is often delayed in time. So it felt to me sometimes, that it's primary purpose was to lengthen the runtime of the movie. So occasionally we can laugh on some scenes at the beginning, but after a short time that smile starts to get faded away, even though the scene continues which was intended to be funny.

The casting crew has changed a little bit. For example Wayans has an other girlfriend who is just as annoying on the big screen (and untalented) than the previous one. However, she's a perfect choice for an aesthetic element (most likely it was the goal of her role). The children do not appear on the screen so often, which made me really happy initially, because personally speaking I'm not really keen for the young actors. Buti n this movie, when the young boy was just about showing up for a minute and saying a short monologue, a loud laughter erupted from me. I really rarely say that to a child actor, but I think he did a remarkable job!

In addition, the range of characters extended with a Mexican-style amigo (who plays Wayans neighbor by the way). He's become my favorite after his first appearance on the screen. I was infatuated with listening to his non-sense spiels, and I've just loved him creating more and more amusing sentences within fractions of a second.

Otherwise the funny scenes of the movie were very similar to what we could experience in its predecessor, so if you liked the first one you'd probably like this one about the same. I think they overdid the sex-related gags a little bit. 2 or 3 are even funny, the 5th is not so, but after the tenth the production is about getting really dull and monotonous. However, the film is not too long, so it doesn't leave us enough time to get bored.

Overall, the movie is not worthy for the standard created by the classic „Scary Movie", but I consider it a perfect evening entertainment, if you simply wanna have fun.

Rating 5/10

Thanks for spending your precious free time with reading my review! Hope you liked it!

Greetings from Lithuania.

Strange or not, i really enjoyed the first "A Haunted House" movie, it was a really funny stuff. Sadly, the second one is a huge disappointment comparing to a first one. The script is so poor and unfunny, that you can think that this was written in two days, it's nearly awful, what a shame. I know it's a parody and has to be stupid, but it has to be fun and stupid, there are great parodies, but this one is a very poor, unfunny mess. They couldn't even make fun out of one of my favorite horror movies in years "Sinister" - everything in "A Haunted House 2" is lame, unfunny (except for one Mexican stereotype joke), horribly acted and simply stupid beyond recognition and fun.

Overall, even if you are hardcore parodies fan, you can safely skip this one, it's a bad one.
