Fear PHarm 2

Well, the 2020 horror movie "Fear PHarm" wasn't exactly a top notch horror experience. Sure, it was watchable, but it was a very forgettable horror movie. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon the 2021 sequel "Fear PHarm 2", yeah. Exactly. Well, I wasn't overly thrilled. But since I had the chance to watch it, and it being a horror movie, of course I did.

Mind you, that my expectations for this particular sequel weren't exactly high. But I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt.

Writers Mark S. Allen, Howard Burd and Dante Yore just didn't really lift the bar with the sequel. In fact, as it often goes with sequels, it went the opposite way. Yeah, while the 2020 "Fear PHarm" was watchable, the 2021 sequel felt like a watered down and fully unnecessary sequel. And the movie's cover/poster was actually the best part about the ordeal.

The storyline told in "Fear PHarm 2" was just a massive step back in comparison to the first movie, which wasn't all that great to begin with. But if felt like director Dante Yore was just running on auto-pilot and playing every single sequel trope possible. And that didn't really make for a particularly great horror movie experience.

Now, I will say that it was actually good to have the majority of the cast return from the previous movie and reprise their characters in the sequel. That counted for something at least.

If you enjoy a proper horror movie, you might want to do yourself a favor and skip on this one.

My rating of "Fear PHarm 2" lands on a three out of ten stars.
