The Pact II (2014)

Very disappointing...

Just what I expected

Absolutely Fantastic

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Very unnecessary sequel. The plot was stupid and boring. Don't watch it.

This completely unnecessary sequel was bland, slow moving and utterly boring. It is very cliched with the most annoying characters. None of the actors are convincing and neither is the story or dialogue. The overbearing music was the main source of jump scares instead of what was happening on screen. Only the shadow figure scene near the beginning was creepy, but as for the rest of the film real scares were few and far between. There are way too many back flashes and fake dream scares.The trailer made the film look good, but those were the only few interesting scenes. The twist was just stupid, and I quite honestly couldn't wait for this dreary film to end. The film once again doesn't really give us closure. Please, don't let there be another one...

The heroine of the 1996 film "Curdled" is a young woman who works for the post-murder cleaning service; The heroine, or rather the damsel, of "The Pact II" does the same job, but that is where the similarity ends. To begin with, this film is distinctly lacking in humour.June is closer to murder than her job; her mother was the victim of a serial killer known as Judas - as in the Biblical connection - and now after a 20 year hiatus, he's back. The only problem here is that Judas is dead, one of his intended victims got the better of him. So who is committing murders in her neck of the woods now, and is she being haunted by something not of this Earth, or is she simply going mad?Dream/nightmare sequences and the like often present problems for the director, not to mention the viewer, and they are not handled well here. Terrestrial murders and hauntings? Not a good combination, but if you like your damsels feisty and showing plenty of cleavage, you might find that some consolation for the dismal plot.

As a huge fan of the first "Pact" movie, I was skeptical when I first heard about this sequel. Then I looked up the trailer and saw that Annie and Stevie were making a return to the screen and I was like, "Okay, this could be cool!" I finally watched it last night and boy was I let down.First off, the identity of the killer was pretty obvious. The moment the boyfriend gave her the ring, I knew it was going to be from one of the victims. And it seemed like they were trying really, really hard to make the FBI agent seem like the bad guy, so I cancelled that out.I cheered when Annie finally came into the story (it was pretty dull up to that point). She was the only likable character in the whole film and she gets killed! I literally booed at my TV screen. I was also disappointed that Stevie wasn't in the movie more, although I can't blame her for getting the hell out of there.The score for the film comes nowhere close to Ronen Landa's beautiful melodies from first film (listen to the track "Her Little Dreams" on the soundtrack). Instead we get long drones and the occasional pang of cymbals. Pretty boring.Things I did like: the shadow scene. Judas's creepy alien-like shadow slowly moving across the wall was really eerie. I also liked the use of Suziey Block (from the movie "Entrance"). She is beautiful! And I absolutely hated the ending with "It's starting again!" Dun dun DUNNNNNNN! It leaves it open for another movie that really isn't necessary."The Pact II" just doesn't have the tense atmosphere that the first one had. I give it a 4/10 and that's being generous.
