I have seen a lot of work of Mike Flanagan aside this one. I know exactly he is the one directing/writing due to its film has a same approach as The Haunting of Hill House. Though the ending is upsetting or rather I say shocking, it is one of pleasurably frightening and heart pounding film I've watched. I am glad Flanagan took different approach in this film because if the other director work on it, it will be found footage film. The film is creative and intelligent. They proficiently manage to build a tension that make feel the ending open to question.

Another thing that stand out in this film is how captivating the performance of cast with high notes to Gillian, Basso, Thwaites, Sackhoff.

There is a scene that I hate due to false jumpscare that make me cringe a bit but almost all of jumpscare is properly use. Also, hope the film give more answers than questions because that what is storytelling is all about, to give answers.

But overall, it is mind-bending, sly, remarkable film that make you hate mirrors.

Casting choice is flavorsome and it works flawless in this crime thriller film. Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillion did a sexy, slick and spot-on performance in this film. I dig a bit tad research if this film is a fresh/original and yes, it is an original on its era. I am sure this film would have a cult following, voyeuristically.

There is a lot of audacious scenes and twist in the film that make you think unto its climax. There is also some scenes that felt ludicrous, specially on the court trial part of the scene. Diversion of the story is good but again, felt daft as the story progress. Musical score has an offbeat tune that make me feel that I am not watching a thriller film but a parody/comical instead. Overall it is a visceral foxy film that has overly lurid plot.

Movie starts audience you are thinking that the invader will get in the house and the family is the one who will secure the house. It turn out to be the opposite which I find new to a suspense category.

The invaders acting is not convincing. I find them a miscasts. Script are mess after the invader attacks. There is no character development in any cast it just suspense, most of it is predictable. So many cliche you will find in this movie reason I drop my review minus 1.

The film is bearable can be watch on occasion. It is campy and somehow entertaining to watch but not rewatchable. Not bad for a low budget film and but not good enough to remember

UNORIGINAL, not effective found footage approach movie , a lot of scenes is trash, if I cut it I can make a movie of this for 5-10 mins. Hope it goes to straight to video. There is more creative way to this oh gosh! terrible movie. The synopsis is the whole story so dont waste your time to watch it.

The heck! this movie make us look like creep! because we are snooping also on main character gadget

I just add 1 star for its moral. But most it, GARBAGE

With recasting all the character and even the story. There is no originality in this movie just a rehash of part one. They just replace the chicken with monkey.

Cast acting is good except on the role of Zach Galifianakis, too annoying and so much corny. You've watch the first, you know the ending, so there is nothing to discuss here. Writing is so so much lazy and give a little darker element which is not necessary.

Not recommended to watch if you watch already the first

This movie is one of the underrated movie I've watch. Highly rewatchable because I did watch this movie many times and it never fails to entertain me. This movie provide good amount of action.

My primary concern in this movie is the ending, on the appearance of Nicolai. The ending seems forced and need more backstory or better he did not show instead to give space for a sequel

Antonio Banderas steal the show in this film. One of his best performance since Desperado.
