Satisfactory

Rating: 7/10 (1 November 2013)

The unfortunate Lambert family continue to experience difficulties imposed on them by assorted malevolent entities from the netherworld, and we learn some backstory about what went on in the past.
In many ways this is a Ronseal film - it does exactly what it says on the tin - albeit the story does have a bit more meat on its bones than one might expect for a sequel which, like this one, simply seeks to extend what made its predecessor successful. It doesn't make a whole load of sense though.
But it is mildly creepy throughout, has a number of "made you jump" moments, features a returning cast, gives Patrick Wilson the chance to chew some scenery, and the two comic sidekicks are quite good fun. I could have done without quite so much creeping about - there is MASSES of it - and it isn't going to satisfy hard horror fans (little blood, goriness, grossness, bad language) but it is not bad of its sort.
