It's rather beholden to The Conjuring (and uses the same title font) and, while writer-director Fowler obviously knows his horror, he doesn't really show enough imagination here to blaze a bloody trail of his own. Go to Full Review

Although it seems that [the film's] weakest point are lack of originality or serial plot holes, what really fails in Lawrence Fowler's film is the dearth of inspired risk-taking when designing each death... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Dasiy D 10/22/2024 So skigma must watch 😼 See more Rick S @Rick8090 08/31/2024 Uma sequência inferior ao original que já não era um bom filme, mas e nítido ver uma evolução em pontos técnicos do filme, como fotografia e direção com alguns ângulos de câmera mais inteligentes, mas nada tão drástico, mas no que eles evoluíram nisso o diretor que também assina o roteiro consegue fazer um roteiro muito mais inferior ao primeiro, com mais furos, lotado de retcoins, e coincidência mais gritantes, contudo toda via ele é minimamente melhor que o original mas isso não significa nada, no todo um péssimo filme. See more Malum M 04/20/2024 Movie is ass, I'd rather watch Winnie-the-pooh: Blood And Honey See more Kary M 04/13/2024 WORST MOVIE EVER. LITERALLY IS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE See more Ana P 01/17/2024 Just awful don't waste your time watching this lame movie. See more Marcel V 12/11/2023 Okay, okay...I know this thing was released two years ago, but yet I'm gonna give my opinion about it... DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! If you don't wanna lose an hour and 33 minutes of your life, do a favour to yourself and don't watch it. It's boring, slow and also it's only terrorific on first 2 minutes and then it's just an empty and slow "horror" movie. See more Read all reviews
