I've never laughed harder during a movie. Ever.
I'll admit that I walked into this movie with fairly low expectations. I'd liked the first one enough, and decided that I might as well give the second one a try. What a mistake that was! Not only were the incredibly jumbled plot lines not well put together at all, but the acting was awful (except for Amber Tamblyn. I will love her forever, provided that she never makes another movie like this), the story was pathetically predictable, and it was so much more of a horrific teen movie than I ever wanted to see. Now, why did that blonde girl show up in that random, ultra-skimpy cheerleader uniform, anyway?
Not only that, but did anyone else see the blatant references to the majorly superior film "The Ring"? When Amber Tamblyn's character was walking through the woods, I half expected her to come upon a well!! Unbelievable.
There was hardly any characterization, and no original scares. Having the little cat kid or the spooky Tayako lady pop out of every little corner in every single scene is not unique! Frankly, it's boring!
*SPOILER ALERT*
And when Vanessa died and came back in that stupid therapist scene, did anyone else crack up in the theatre? What's so scary about a blonde girl painted blue standing there practically belching? To me, that's so bad that it's funny!!
*END SPOILER*
All in all, I found this movie to be the epitome of the descent of modern horror. Let's cut the sequels already, people? Hasn't it just been enough already?
