The first film was quite bad, in all honesty. Now that we have the sequel, of which I was curious about, wondering how they could possibly continue the first film. "The Invoking 2" Took many wrong turns, turning into a very low, very weak, and even very pointless film.
First off, there's multiple stories. RLJ took yet another anthology turn, making it even more pointless, and now worn out than ever before. The films has around six stories, all of which were low. Each story revolves around a string events, those being paranormal activity in each one. All the stories seemed to each have constant clichés, clichés of which we've all seen billions, of trillions of times before. From the simple characters on each story, all the way to the stories themselves, they all managed to give every horror / paranormal sub-genre cliché in the book, annoying, boring, and even angering the audience. On topic with story, the unbelievably pointless factor that threw this entire film straight off track. This is supposedly the sequel to the first "Invoking" film - Don't be fooled. This film literally had nothing to do with the first film, once again, this was made up, and made into an anthology, making the title a complete set-off, as well as making it even more pointless than it already was to begin with. The film didn't have much charm, or entertaining factors at all. This entire film just seemed to be a long, dragging, and even confusing ride into complete, and utter pointlessness, succeeding in absolutely nothing. There was no tension, no resolved story, no story to even START with; once again just a bunch of clichéd, recycled stories plastered together, and called a false sequel. Aside from that, this film, either way still wasn't great, called a false sequel, or not. It just didn't cut it, not even a small fraction.
In conclusion, my curiosity got the better of me. This film had literally nothing but pointlessness going for it. No tension, legit scares, good, refreshing story. Nothing. All the stories seemed clichéd, and just added to the fact that this film was flat out boring, seemingly trying to be thrilling, but in face failed, leading to disappointment. Not to mention, as said before, these shorts seeming to just be pasted together, making no sense, and leading to confusion that tended to be annoying. Overall, this film wasn't good. I honestly wouldn't recommend this. Find another good film that'll manage to make actual sense!
