My brain cells more likely committed suicide while I sat there with a fist trying to hold up my head. Basically, I chose the iron skillet - one hard hit for every minute I tolerated. I suppose this puts me in an interesting predicament since I'm openly admitting to sitting through 86 grueling minutes of unpleasantness and complete boredom. Which would you sacrifice when admitting to watch this ridiculously appalling mess: you're self-respect, showing your face in public or a gargantuan helping of brain cells? This is especially true for this movie, which reunites hack scribers Marlon Wayans (bottom of the barrel of an otherwise talented funny family) and Rick Alvarez with nothing-of-note director Michael Tiddes. No matter the choice, you're walking away feeling betrayed, sick to your stomach, and nauseous from a grotesquely painful headache. ![]() Or rather, in this case, which one sounds like more fun: being banged on the head with an iron skillet or having your eyes pepper sprayed. Granted, the choice is like being asked to decide which would you rather have smashed by a baseball bat: your hands or your kneecaps. And we're talking about preferring 'Jack and Jill' over this hot pile of nauseating manure. At the expense of my intelligence, and all human progress for that matter, such is the sad case of 'A Haunted House 2.' It's a movie so frighteningly atrocious and so horrifyingly terrible that it makes Adam Sandler's recent slew of utter crap seem like decent, watchable entertainment. ![]() But even when knowing this and understanding the probability that the second will likely be inferior, what happens when the first movie is already so god-awful that a sequel's only rcourse is to sink to lower and be more dreadful levels. Except for a very rare few, this is a given if not nearly expected by the general movie-going audience. Sequels, by default, are never as good as their predecessors, and sometimes they're worse.
