The modern era has produced a lot of terrible and painfully unfunny spoof movies. 2013's A Haunted House, directed by Michael Tiddes and co-written by Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez, was most definitely one of them. Even though it received some pretty brutal reviews, the movie did well enough at the box office to generate a sequel, and now the same team is back for more. Unfortunately, the follow-up sticks to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach and offers exactly the same kind of humor and gags. Needless to say, that means it's every bit as predictable and terrible as the first.
After surviving the events of the first movie (spoiler alert!), Marlon Mayans' character, Malcom, finds himself in a relationship with Megan (Jamie Pressly) and moves into a new home with her and her two kids. Pressly's role is pretty much limited to being completely oblivious to all of the supernatural activity going on in the house and getting into argument after argument with Malcom. Megan's son, Wyatt (Steele Stebbins), has an "invisible friend" that makes the child say virtually everything a youngling shouldn't say. Megan's daughter, Becky (Ashley Rrickards), finds an old box in the home and what follows is joke after joke inspired by The Possession. Also, seeing as it's referred to as "the box," you can probably guess the obvious jokes they'll make about that one as the movie progresses. There's also quite a few Sinister spoofs after Malcom finds some old footage in the house. This demon, however, is a little less effective at killing the residents.
