There are no laughs.

After revisiting the first film in the series of horror parodies, I decided to give it's sequel another go. Despite the fact I used to love this film, I turned it off around the 30 minute mark the last time I watched it. I actually found this to be a bit better than its predecessor. Of course, at times, it can absolute shit, but there's some really funny stuff also, including James Woods' hilarious cameo as Father McFeely (really) and Chris Elliott's admittedly funny physical comedy as the caretaker of the haunted house the characters stay in.

Just as stupid as the first film only not as funny. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty funny. There are one or two hilarious scenes even, but the rest of the gags either seem forced or just half assed. Like they try too hard to be stupid funny and end up being just stupid. Still, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure and like I said, it can be really funny when it's not trying so hard.

Why did I watch this? Fucking netflix recommendations.

Am I the only one who likes this more than the original? It's not a good movie, but at least this one made me laugh. It wears its stupidity on its sleeve...actually on its whole damn person. It runs with it and it made me laugh a few times. I mean a pot monster rolls up one of the Wayans brothers and tries to smoke him, turning the tables on what had previously been a one-way relationship. It's not as slave-like in its determination to spoof every single film it can imagine.and I appreciated that. Again, it's not good, I'm not defending it and I can't really say I'd want to watch it again, but...yeah I'm starting to wobble just writing this.

It seems they took the strongest parts of the original and altered them for the movies they chose to parody. At times it is so much funnier, but at others not so much. The opening parody of 'The Exorcist' with James Woods is fantastic, and Anna Farris continues to crack me up.

Competing fiercely with SM4 for the worst of the franchise. Aggravatingly stupid from start to finish.

xDD

Charming at some moments but still pure trash.

TAKE MY GOOD HAND.

Even trashier.

My gripe with both films is still the half-assed, almost painfully obvious nature of their creativity-devoid spoofs.

Why did I watch this? Fucking netflix recommendations.

the best one.

A hysterical opening 15 minutes sadly can't be maintained, collapsing with no semblance of plot or real insights into the genre it attempts to parody.

The Nike parody ad, the riff on Charlie's Angels and the dinner table scene raise a few laughs, but the opening Exorcist parody featuring James Woods is its piece de resistance.
