So, I loved the first film. Such a good concept with genuine scares. The second one was ok and still delivered some good moments. But this movie had potential up until that last several minutes. What made the others so good was the unknown. I am good with knowing a little to give backstory....but don't try to put a bow on it. I felt that the filmmakers were insecure about this film, so they felt the need to put an ending straight outta hollywood. And it ruined everything.
First, the fact that they kept reusing the gimmick with changing head positions to indicate an off camera movement still works....even if they kept using the same clowns. But then they bring in this weirdo rich guy who happens to have died and became the only person who can close the gateway. Who cares.... I don't want resolution in this kind of movie. We want scares. How cheesy were the dark figures at the end going around killing everyone. I wasn't feeling the carnage. It looked so sadly fake, I was embarrassed. That end with the floor opening up was the worst. They brought that bald guy back who is a crappy actor...he's not that interesting. Also the forced Faustian themes were really lame. The story had potential and the only reason I gave 5 stars was because it had some good moments.
Who was that weird dude narrating? What purpose did he serve? Why wasn't anyone the least bit weirded out when viewing footage? Why did they do s horrible job with the light testing scene? It looked like a bad high school movie.
I am sad that this is the entry to bookend the fantastic first one. You can skip it. It was poo.
