The Jack in the Box: Awakening

So happy to see a second movie. This one is better than the first by far. I bought it and have been obsessively watching it the last 2 days. It is a great movie and so terribly scary!!

Having only remembered bits and pieces of the first film but of course remembering how bad it was, I wasn't holding out hope for this sequel... The film sees the legend of the Jack In The Box continue to spread his rain of terror after being dormant for a few years. Like the first film, I didn't much like this film. While it had some gory moments in it, it wasn't great generally. The story is weak, the acting is weak and the sequel just feels pretty uneeded and adds zilch to the already bad original. It drags with an 86 minute runtime and for the most has too much dialogue and boring drama. Overall, it's not a great film, which I expected in a way, but still gave it a watch to see if there was a chance at all that the film might be better. 1/10.

I REALLY enjoyed the movie as far as the thriller aspect and the fact that I had to turn away from the screen through a sacrifice scene, was impressive since I don't scare easy! I believe those of you rating would have to either personally relate to the characters and the plot or have a vivid imagination to visualize the value of the movie even though critics would call it "low budget". The comments, in my opinion or extremely harsh and maybe they can rely on support from those of you who didn't appreciate the effort put into making a movie that kept my attention...which is hard to do.

I am giving this a ten mainly because I found no issues. I mean it was not ground breaking but if that is what you are looking for in every horror movie then your in the wrong genre. Did I jump? Yes. Do I want an origin story? Yes. Did I want to fast forward due to annoyance? No. The other reason I give it a ten is because the reviews I saw for less than 5 were obviously not genre fans and this is a genre film that is light enough to watch at a sleepover in middle school but scary enough to ensure at least one girl at the sleepover never does a sleepover again.

This film is truly awful... So slow, there's no horror jump scars or anything exciting. In fact it's so bad I'm still 'watching' it while writing this..
