Overrated

Just perfect...

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The Invoking 2 doesn't have anything to do with the equally boring The Invoking (2013). That was about a house with some dark family secrets. This one takes the anthology format, does nothing at all with it and adds some dull "paranormal events" and only in about an hour's time. It is the type of rubbish you'd find in a college film class without any art leanings. The acting is non-existent and so is the story-line. Cheap special effects don't help much either."U-Turn" - A man picks up a silent hitchhiker and finds another accident on the road."Insane" - A filmmaker with his guide in an abandoned asylum are haunted."Alone" - A druggie woman at home is bothered by the image of her double."Do Not Disturb" - A serial killer in a hotel room gets weird cards from a ghost."Natal" - A crazy woman at a cabin is driven nuts by the sound of scratching."Melissa" - A girl dials 911 to tell them about a masked man near her home.You'd probably have more fun watching the old 1970's horror anthologies like The House That Dripped Blood (1971), Tales from the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), From Beyond the Grave (1974), The Vault of Horror (1973), and Trilogy of Terror (1975).

Seems like someone was paid to write a decent review for this movie, actually, a FANTASTIC review detailing pretty much everything this movie DID NOT HAVE. No need for spoiler alert(although I'm ticking the box because I don't want to get blacklisted and I'm not going to read the guidelines...) because even if I walked you through the entire 6 "plot" lines you still would have no idea what I'm talking about. Naked schizophrenic images of beautiful women? If by "naked" the reviewer was referencing a striped down version of insanity to reveal it's bare bones then eh...maybe...but to insinuate that these women get naked...no. It doesn't happen. No guilty pleasure of seeing a naked woman in a ridiculous, OBVIOUS plea for money, movie. Pick up a copy of Goosebumps from the mid 90's, chances are it'll be scarier than this random assortment of allegedly spooky, nightmare- fuel, spine tingling short stories averaging about 8.6 minutes a piece.Seriously, get a goosebumps book.

Scary images that your subconscious can use to create a nightmare, voices, creepy sayings that stay in your mind for awhile, simple things like that should be in any horror movie. I've watched hundreds of horror movies in my day, and this is definitely top 70, or so. Not the best, but definitely not one of the worst. Definitely worth a watch on All Hallow's Eve. Maybe I just have a soft spot for paranormal themes. If you think Paranormal Activity is scary, then this will make you defecate yourself. Movies that have the ability to invoke paranoia, and play on your primal fears - that's what a horror movie is, right? Give this movie a shot. If ghostly disembowelment's, and naked schizophrenic images of extremely attractive women are your thing, you'll enjoy it.

The first film was quite bad, in all honesty. Now that we have the sequel, of which I was curious about, wondering how they could possibly continue the first film. "The Invoking 2" Took many wrong turns, turning into a very low, very weak, and even very pointless film.First off, there's multiple stories. RLJ took yet another anthology turn, making it even more pointless, and now worn out than ever before. The films has around six stories, all of which were low. Each story revolves around a string events, those being paranormal activity in each one. All the stories seemed to each have constant clichés, clichés of which we've all seen billions, of trillions of times before. From the simple characters on each story, all the way to the stories themselves, they all managed to give every horror / paranormal sub-genre cliché in the book, annoying, boring, and even angering the audience. On topic with story, the unbelievably pointless factor that threw this entire film straight off track. This is supposedly the sequel to the first "Invoking" film - Don't be fooled. This film literally had nothing to do with the first film, once again, this was made up, and made into an anthology, making the title a complete set-off, as well as making it even more pointless than it already was to begin with. The film didn't have much charm, or entertaining factors at all. This entire film just seemed to be a long, dragging, and even confusing ride into complete, and utter pointlessness, succeeding in absolutely nothing. There was no tension, no resolved story, no story to even START with; once again just a bunch of clichéd, recycled stories plastered together, and called a false sequel. Aside from that, this film, either way still wasn't great, called a false sequel, or not. It just didn't cut it, not even a small fraction.In conclusion, my curiosity got the better of me. This film had literally nothing but pointlessness going for it. No tension, legit scares, good, refreshing story. Nothing. All the stories seemed clichéd, and just added to the fact that this film was flat out boring, seemingly trying to be thrilling, but in face failed, leading to disappointment. Not to mention, as said before, these shorts seeming to just be pasted together, making no sense, and leading to confusion that tended to be annoying. Overall, this film wasn't good. I honestly wouldn't recommend this. Find another good film that'll manage to make actual sense!
