It's rather beholden to The Conjuring (and uses the same title font) and, while writer-director Fowler obviously knows his horror, he doesn't really show enough imagination here to blaze a bloody trail of his own.

Although it seems that [the film's] weakest point are lack of originality or serial plot holes, what really fails in Lawrence Fowler's film is the dearth of inspired risk-taking when designing each death... [Full review in Spanish]

Uma sequência inferior ao original que já não era um bom filme, mas e nítido ver uma evolução em pontos técnicos do filme, como fotografia e direção com alguns ângulos de câmera mais inteligentes, mas nada tão drástico, mas no que eles evoluíram nisso o diretor que também assina o roteiro consegue fazer um roteiro muito mais inferior ao primeiro, com mais furos, lotado de retcoins, e coincidência mais gritantes, contudo toda via ele é minimamente melhor que o original mas isso não significa nada, no todo um péssimo filme.

Okay, okay...I know this thing was released two years ago, but yet I'm gonna give my opinion about it... DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! If you don't wanna lose an hour and 33 minutes of your life, do a favour to yourself and don't watch it. It's boring, slow and also it's only terrorific on first 2 minutes and then it's just an empty and slow "horror" movie.

Terrible acting and terrible story. This movie is not even worth to watch it.

A slight improvement from the first movie. The kills were much better and they actually used the Jack in the box more, but still this was a bad movie.
