9 Found Footage Movies You Should Die Before You See
4. A Haunted House 2
Few genres are as soul-suckingly awful as horror comedies gone wrong, and this would-be parody of Paranormal Activity, The Conjuring, Sinister et al brought to mind another laboured effort that prompted one critics shortest-ever TV review: Transylvania 6-5000 stank. Im Leonard Maltin, Entertainment Tonight. 2013s A Haunted House cost $2.5 million and made $60 million worldwide, so despite a barrage of negative reviews (Austin Chronicle said it was like watching a snuff film, only its the audience thats dying inside.), economic sense dictated that co-writer/star Marlon Wayans would sooner or later return to the well. To his credit, Wayans tones down the homophobic humour this time around, but makes up for it with a streak of animal cruelty gags and, for good measure, throws in a running joke about having sex with the doll from Annabelle. Future generations will gaze upon the movie and pity their ancestors.
