I guess that’s one way to put it.

The movie starts with me having no idea what’s going on, except remembering that the house in the first movie was built on a native burial ground.
LikeLike
So there’s something evil UNDER the burial ground. I guess we can’t blame the thing on angry native spirits, then.
LikeLike
I do remember this bit. It’s a suicide cult. But how did they get there UNDER the burial ground?

That is a very poorly behaved dog. He wouldn’t be having my lunch.

I was so distracted by the dog I didn’t notice the yarn trick.

Okay. I’m pretty sure the actor playing the father corrected the actor playing the kid in this scene but they left it in.
And yeah, I can understand not wanting a TV after what happened in the first flick.

Grandma’s pretty cool.

Okay, yeah. How do you explain to the insurance company that your house got sucked into an ethereal wormhole?
The human roomie suggests you just tell them there was a gas leak explosion.
Seriously, though, wouldn’t they send someone out to investigate the claim anyway? Just to have something to talk about around the office?

This Cookie person better come up later on in the movie or I’m going to be annoyed.

“Mom, I talked to the kittens. They want to come home with us.” I totally believe this happened.

So, no one sees the creepy old guy but her. And then he’s swinging her arms and singing and nobody thinks it looks odd, and her mother sees the guy and talks to him. Then he goes non-corporeal again?

You mean they’ve been in this house for months and they never told Grandma what happened?? What does she thiink happened to their house? Does SHE think it was a gas explosion?

The incidental scary music is way too aggressive.

Backwards echo on the toy phone ringing. I love how the little girl isn’t at all freaked out by this. Makes perfect sense, of course, getting a call from her just-now-dead grandma.

Aww! I wanna be a ballerina with wings!

huh. Looks like they found them. How? Why now? Is it because the old creepy guy spotted her at the mall? Did Granny dying have something to do with it?
LikeLike
Their room has a skylight? Kind hard to sleep on full moon nights, I imagine.

Looks like Granny’s calling again. Except, no…not her.
Why does the robot’s laser gun work?

Okay, I like this., Fist sign of supernatural activity, they are gone! Out of the house!
Except…dammit, Taylor!

Grandma just died and she’s possessing people?

Oddly, I remember the car being very angry.

“Angry? That car is pissed!”

Oh, come on. You just have to sense the evil rolling off this thing. Maybe the rain masks it? This thing has to be powerful, staying corporeal like this.
Ah, now it’s leaking out.

Just stop listening to him, man! Close the door!

Where the hell was Taylor when this was going on?

Yup. That’s me. I’m a leaf on the wind.

So, what’s the point of this? Really? Why are ghosts such dicks?
LikeLike
Dammit, Tangina!
Psychics are almost as much dicks as ghosts.
LikeLike
Okay. The ghost is from the early 1800s. So possessing the toys and making the robot shoot a real laser makes even less sense. Or twisting the kid’s braces in an imagined attempt to electrocute him.

Ah, the worm. Man so much of this movie makes no sense.
LikeLike
With the amount of power these spirits appear to have, I don’t understand why they haven’t just overtaken the house. They’re teasing the humans, poking at them through a cage, you know? Maybe they needed to actually be invited in to do actual damage.
And maybe that’s what the worm was for? hmm.
LikeLike
I am not liking this scene at all. I really didn’t need attempted rape on top of everything else.
LikeLike
Oh, that is really disgusting. I mean, wow.

So it somehow created an actual body from the father in order to take the girl? How does that work, exactly?

Again, where the hell is Taylor?

Seriously, what are the rules here? ’cause this thing is just irritating.
And I’m pretty sure the car is angrier now than it’s ever been. Maybe it’s a precog?

What the hell just happened?

This movie definitely suffered from just not having the special fx needed. I think it would be a better movie today if they tried to remake it.

I mean, they did the bes with what they had. Some of this is actually pretty disturbing. But then some of it just looks like latex and slime.

And cue Grandma.

Nothing more about Cookie, though.

Well, that was a really silly ending. Total contrast to the chaos and terror of the first movie’s ending.
