Death Bell 2 (2010)

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

After a swim meet, a girl meets a black ink/mist entity in the swimming pool and is spooked out. The kids at school study for exams as we are introduced to a new teacher.Their exam takes a twist as the students are locked in. They are being killed off one by one. In order to survive they must figure out who and why.As a slasher film , it had enough blood, but as a ghost film, it wasn't that scary. The film poorly combined slasher and supernatural elements with flashbacks that didn't seem to mean much. I couldn't get into the film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Attempted rape.

"Death Bell 2"... I like it, but still... it lacks to deliver like the first one did, i'm glad the series stood in the school drama, this time it involves a female ghost, not like the first one which wasn't a ghost story... this is one was it, but with slasher and gore elements, love the way the died.... Plot: Good... still didn't made that sense of the first one Acting: Good... for most of the cast, just one guy who didn't work well his role.. Direction: Average, most of the film was really dark... I really like it, but it has some elements that made me hate it at the same time hate/love relationship! There were few characters, typical bully's who think they are the best thing that ever happened to the world, guys who think they are 'cool' and slutty girls... freaking spoiled people, yes... i don't like that kind of people, i used to pick on them and mind *uck them in middle/high school... well back to the movie, the main characters is one of those you would like to kill and when she's about to die... someone saves her bah... well she's not even the main role, her 'sister' has it, like the ending, and also at the credits shows an extra scene or alternative ending, good idea. A little bit confusing, by the fact it's really dark you can't see faces... 7 out of 10...

Give me back the wasted 2 hours of my life. Genius??? Really??? Another batch of reviews I can only guess was slanted by the makers of the film. I had high hopes for the film in the first ten minutes which were dashed to pieces 20 minutes into the film. YAY! I'm a genius filmmaker I'M SO INNOVATIVE!! Story goes nowhere and is about nothing. ZERO conflict. It was absolutely painful to watch. I am embarrassed to say I watched this movie to the end, but in my defense I was reading a book at the time. I kept waiting for something relevant to happen, but nothing ever did. Nothing made any sense. I get that he died. I get that when his buddy gets his sister pregnant at the end he is reborn. Everything in between is a useless waste of time. By the end of the movie 6 people in the theater were seizing, 1 was in a coma, 3 were masturbating, and 14 died of boredom. Greenpeace should project this movie at whaling ships, as the whalers would get so disgusted they would go home and leave the whales alone. I think watching this movie may spontaneously give you colon cancer. Leaving this movie playing in your kitchen would probably kill all the roaches in your house. Looking at a picture of this movie will probably give you a brain tumor. Reading about this movie on the internet will probably make you sterile. That is how BAD this movie actually is.

There is a concept that to inherit the legacy of a successful movie and make a second part of the movie and call it a sequel or prequel. Usually, it is very difficult to make a good second movie because the new ideas have been seen before and probably the main characters are repeated as well. If you have a movie with a lot of material to talk about (Godfather 2) or the sequel is very long way from the original so you can introduce new materials (terminator 2), you may repeat the success. If you make the later parts of the movie very near the time of original, eventually, they will just look all the same such as Saw series. However, it is OK if you are a fan and people will follow whatever the story it was linking from before.There are some really bad sequel movies like 'the return of living dead' movies; the series has no linkage whatsoever but it does not matter. Every movie has different theme and they were all low budget movie anyway, nobody really cares about them. I would say they are failures but not extremely bad cases.Now, to the main topic, Gosa 2 is a movie with absolute no linkage to its predecessor. They both have about the same cast of characters just with the name changed. Several new ways of killing people but they are all similar. It is about murdering, revenge and supernatural, which is exactly the same tone as the first movie. Even the main actress, they again have chosen a singer/actress to take the leading role. I never understand why they do that. There are zero new surprising elements, zero new ideas, and even the characters are non-interesting. OK yeah, I was praising in the first movie, they had a pure school girl for a change, which is a fresher from watching models all the time in Western horror movies, now they added a model who is not even nude (just in swimming suit and got killed after couple scenes) in a brutal killing movie.If you have not watch Gosa 1, I guess you may find this movie interesting. If you watch either one of them, don't watch another one. They are just the same movie repeated with different actors.6 stars if you have not watch Gosa 1, 2 stars if you did. Average 4 stars.
