I usually never write movie reviews but after watching this pathetic excuse for a horror movie, I felt obliged to warn people. I mistakenly went to see this movie even after reading all the bad reviews on here, as I thought it couldn't possibly be all that bad and would at the very least be a somewhat scary horror film. Boy was I wrong! There is absolutely NOTHING scary at all about this movie. It relies completely on out of context jump scares to get any kind of reaction from its audience, which is nothing short of pathetic. The storyline is ridiculous and nonsensical, the characters are stupid, as are their actions, there is absolutely no creepy atmosphere or build up and at the end, you don't give a crap what happens to anyone in the movie. Even the hour and a half run- time is painful to sit through, you just can't wait for it to end it is so uneventful and boring. The worst part is that the jump scares come completely out of nowhere at times, there isn't even a buildup so you don't even get scared. It's just a mild shock and then nothing again. The woman in black herself isn't even scary in this one. They really shouldn't have bothered and I feel totally ripped off going to see this. There was no effort put into this movie whatsoever, which is a shame as the first movie was decent and a very effective horror. There is so much one (with talent) could do with the premise, the woman in black character is scary and a child dying every time someone sees her is a very creepy idea. An idea which they forgot about until halfway through this movie. Please, please stay away from this cliché ridden mess!!! This movie solely relies on constant jump scares and creepy child ghosts (which didn't at all feature in the first movie) in order to be scary and fails miserably on every level. As a horror fan, it's a very sad time when horror (sequels) are now being made without the horror with no effort whatsoever just to cash in the original.
