Good standalone movie
9 July 2012 | by – See all my reviews

I love the first movie, I was really looking forward to this movie even, when it had different plot to it.

when it was first green lit, it was meant to be a True sequel. which was having Tom Witzky's son in high school and seeing similar disturbing visions like his father did in the first.

Some where a long the line it changed to A soldier returns home from the Iraq war only to be haunted by visions of the dead.

Now it stand a alone with no connection to first movie at all, I was not too keen on new plot but i did found this sequel decent.

I found this movie very entertaining as it did have very good bizarre scene that really liked seeing in this movie and I liked how they but spin in the plot for this movie, did not see that spin coming.

There were some gore scenes and one or two scare scenes, those scenes did not shock me but beating up scenes were was just nasty and horrible to watch,

i found that scene more shocking then any of the scare or gory scene.

I did enjoyed the ending of the movie, it kinda of happy how it ended. 5 out of 10
