The House on Mansfield Street II: Evil Next Door

I have watched - as far as I know - every feature film that writer/director Richard Mansfield has made. They have ranged from slow and hard to finish to average at best. All found footage, all low budget, but the guy has talent behind the lens. I have into each film hoping that this is the time he finally puts it all together, I have come away each time thinking "maybe next time." This one is a large step in the right direction. The characters are fairly believable, the plot is well developed, dialogue (which has been an issue with past efforts) feels more natural. It still needs more substance in it's middle act, but this is oh so close to being recommendable. It's Mansfield's best so far, and has me hoping the next continues this progression.
