Hate to admit it, but it was pretty good!

I had literally zero expectation here. The first film was barely adequate and for me a disappointment considering Aja was at the helm. The second comes out of nowhere with no fanfare and no advertising starring a list of questionably B to C grade actors, and the trailer while not terrible appeared to just show off the movie's kills without really dragging you into the plot.
I was very surprised. The story was good, the acting was passable, but the kills and tension was what really stood out. Limited use of CGI, great makeup, and some nice twists at the end made it a far better film than most of the horror schlock out there today.

Definately a rental. Surprised it did not get a mainstream release.

I just turned this movie on out of boredom, I haven't even seen the first one. The acting isn't great but it's not terrible. The kills were definitely the highlight of the whole thing, and seeing Christy Romano's perfect body wasn't too bad either. One bad thing is that there's really no story development until about three quarters of the way through the movie, before that it's just people dying. Not a bad movie if you're bored. 6/10

I thought it was pretty good. The kills were definitely good. Most of the plot was kind of dumb, though, but all in all, it's not a bad movie.

I have to agree this was pretty good. When I saw it was a direct to video title I feared the worst but the presence of Nick Stahl made me stick with it. Glad I did as it was worth a watch.
The kills were very good. The first one in particular was as gruesome a death as I have seen in a while and the make up was excellent.
It lost some steam toasted the end and the climax was a bit clunky but overall a decent horror

This movie was a *beep* joke. It was so bad i couldnt believe it. Acting was terrible, ghosts where funny, story was boring, CGI was joke.

If u say this was a good movie, then you really have no sence for what is a good movie...

Some peoples tastes differ. I will give most films a fair chance. It's rare I hate a film so much I would come on here to lay into it. I am a huge film lover. I never watch tv only films so my threshold for a bad film is probably a lot lower than some.
This film was no masterpiece but it was solid and entertaining for me. Compared to other DTV horrors I have seen it was ok.
