Movie Review: A Haunted House 2 (2014)

Written by Anthony Sargon

There hasn’t been a good “Scary Movie” since the second one (although I personally love the third one), and no one can argue that the franchise has run its course. Hollywood will likely keep churning them out, but audiences aren’t stupid enough to fall for the same trick. Many of you may not know that Marlon Wayans actually produced and co-wrote the first two “Scary Movie” flicks, until the studio took over creative control and shat all over the franchise (again, I liked number 3!) Last year’s “A Haunted House” was Marlon Wayans’ chance to reclaim what was once his; the horror spoof. While I didn’t exactly enjoy the first film, I can confidently say that “A Haunted House 2″ is a superior sequel in every way, and while it’s brimming with stupidity, I couldn’t help but laugh. Do I feel ashamed for enjoying it? Just a tad.
