A different way of telling a story
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreThis movie will always be my favorite horror film, mostly because it mocks every single horror film in the book. It's not suppose to be serious, it's just suppose to be light hearted, stupid, and funny all together. It's a good take on a parody of every single horror film like Anabelle(the doll), Saw, The exorcist, paranormal activity, Insidious, etc. Some of these horror films are just down right stupid so it's refreshing to see a movie making fun of it. This show leaves off where his ex girlfriend, Kisha, was possessed by a demon and now he has a new girlfriend where he moves in with his children. There are many stereotypes in this film like the promiscuous daughter, weird son, psychotic doll, etc. This show just created a spoof on every horror film with putting down night 1 like in paranormal activity. There are many times where a doll (Anabelle) he ends up sleeping with and shows very dumb sex scenes that are actually pretty funny. It's very over dramatic at times. He wants to end up getting rid of the demon etc. this film is just downright stupid that it's funny and really just makes fun of horror films. They use stupid humor or even offensive humor but it always tends to make me laugh all the time. I can watch this 100 X's and still laugh.
... View MoreI actually liked "A Haunted House" so I was going into this movie with high hopes that lightning could hit twice, but instead of striking, it misses the target completely. The movie is basically a retread of "The Conjuring" with references to "Insidious," "Sinister" and some smaller horror references (the son has an invisible friend named "Tony" ala "The Shining."), but it's really an excuse for rampant profanity, objectionable sexual references and more simulated pornography segments. There are weak comedy moments that go on forever (Wayans simulates an exceedingly long repeated rape of a "demon doll" eight minutes long after it stopped being funny) and endless nauseating sexual references. (Wayans makes endless "box" references as a metaphor to a girl's pubic area.) The movie just doesn't have the creative edge or the honest character dialogue of the first flick, instead relying on non-stop slapstick, dark humor and Wayans's ability to make faces and scream like a girl. There are a few funny moments (Wayans types in his computer: "When will they stop making "Scary Movies" without the Wayans Brothers?"), but they are so few. The movie also repeats a lot of material that wasn't all that funny in the first movie: a dog gets killed (again), Cedric the Entertainer shows up for no reason (again), characters ramble on about nonsense (again), Wayans simulates endless sex acts on an inanimate object (again) .. It's as if they paid no attention to the script and just made it up as they went along. Essence Atkins appears for what seems to be just a tacked-on cameo without adding anything to the movie. Comedian Rick Overton is wasted in a role that is stretched into an extremely unnecessary and boring "Breaking Bad" sequence. Jamie Pressley is vastly underused; only appearing as a "straight man" to Wayans bouncing and screaming all over the place as the Devil Doll plays out the role of a "former-girlfriend-turned-stalker." There's just not much more to the movie to that. It's not terribly funny, nor is it creative or edgy; it just drags on like a body behind a car.
... View MoreA Haunted House 2 (2014), the sequel to the movie A Haunted House (2013):To start the film presents quite sexual and crazy humor, but to parody certain horror films of recent years do not does anything wrong, the pace of the film is well run, that if in some cases(not unfamiliar - to see people from slum mood - If you like of refined humor will not be to your liking).Some new parodies were disappointed as the deplorable Scary Movie 5, Disaster Movie, Vampire Sucks, including the only thing Worn do is repeat jokesThis film certain scenes could really surprise you, has good scenes, finally a very funny movie, a great time one while watching with friend and sisterThe best thing about this movie is that the comedian Marlon Wayans ago anything to try to make it to your liking. finally I admit, I am a Marlon Wayans. whether A Haunted House 1 and 2 like more that Scary Movie 2 and 5greetings and thanks.
... View MoreI didn't really like the Scary Movie series so I was pleasantly surprised by the similar (but funnier) A Haunted House. Still, I wasn't looking forward to this sequel since comedy sequels almost always suck. Sadly, this one does suck for the most part. Marlon Wayans tries so so hard and carries the movie on his back 95% of the time. His shtick is constant and, because of this, I grew tired of him very quickly. By the half-hour mark I was ready to throw in the towel. But I stuck with it and it does get better in the last twenty minutes or so. Cedric the Entertainer, Missi Pyle, Hayes MacArthur, and Kym Whitley are all more amusing than the movie deserves. Jaime Pressly is terrible. Gabriel Iglesias is one tired Mexican joke after another. The humor is over the top and often gross. It sets out to top the first movie in crudeness. Why this was the goal is beyond me but I was worried it would be. The Wayans family seem to believe that comedy gets funnier as it gets nastier, which is why the vast majority of their work is bottom-of-the-barrel garbage. See it if you like your humor as lowbrow as it can possibly get.
