Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

jdaesq91369 I liked this movie. Sure, it lacked some gore, but as a person who has watched B-movies for a very long time, it really wasn't that bad. It kind of reminded me of The ABC'S of Death in a way. I think that is what it was going for by having several short films pieced together. Again, it wasn't as bloody as the ABC'S was, but it was interesting. It left you to use your imagination which is good. Most movies spell everything out for you and you need not even guess who the killer is. Granted, this movie isn't in my top 10. But it will be in my top 50. I find it a lot better than any of the teenagerish movies like I know what you did last summer, scream, urban legend, etc. I have watched B films that were made horrible on purpose, (traumaville studios comes to mind here as well as full moon productions), this seem that it was a B film simply because of the low budget. I think with a bigger budget, they could have afforded better special effects, better actors, etc. The acting was good, I only recognized 1 person from a previous film. The others were unknown to me. I think the director should go for an all out bloody slasher pic. I think he will find his hidden gem in an all out gorefest.

stevenkingmetcalfe Scary images that your subconscious can use to create a nightmare, voices, creepy sayings that stay in your mind for awhile, simple things like that should be in any horror movie. I've watched hundreds of horror movies in my day, and this is definitely top 70, or so. Not the best, but definitely not one of the worst. Definitely worth a watch on All Hallow's Eve. Maybe I just have a soft spot for paranormal themes. If you think Paranormal Activity is scary, then this will make you defecate yourself. Movies that have the ability to invoke paranoia, and play on your primal fears - that's what a horror movie is, right? Give this movie a shot. If ghostly disembowelment's, and naked schizophrenic images of extremely attractive women are your thing, you'll enjoy it.

davannacarter I wholeheartedly agree with everything the reviewer SomeoneSomewhere said about this film. There is no point to this movie. None whatsoever. Let me start off by saying the first Invoking film was complete crap. It didn't have a wide distribution and the few people that saw it hated it. In fact, people on the IMDb page for the Invoking hated the movie so badly that the last time I was on that page they were gleefully and desperately trying to make the movie have the lowest rating on IMDb. That says a lot because there is total crap out there. As far as the Invoking 1 and it's sequel, Invoking 2, are concerned, both movies have much in common: terrible acting; annoying and underdeveloped characters; lame villains; utterly lacking in anything scary; the house on the movie cover for the Invoking 1 is nowhere in the movie, and the same goes for Invoking 2, which also features a house on the cover, which is nowhere in the movie; both movies have titles trying to cash in on more popular horror flicks: Invoking one was originally called Sader Ridge but changed to the Invoking to cash in on the Conjuring's title, and Invoking 2's subtitle, "Paranormal Events" was obviously created to cash in on Paranormal Activity's title; and, last but not least, both movies are completely and utterly pointless. I remember a Simpson's episode where Homer is put on a lie detector. The law enforcement agent asks him, "Homer, do you understand the questions I'm about to ask you?" Homer says, "Yes," and the lie detector explodes! That same type of thing would happen to me. If you attached a lie detector to me and asked, "I'll give you $1 million if you can tell me what the point of the Invoking 1 and 2 were about. Can you honestly tell me what the Invoking 1 and 2 were about?" I'd say, "Yes, I can tell you what they were about." and the lie detector would explode!Seriously. There is no point to either the beginning Invoking movie nor the sequel. Neither of the movies brought anything new, interesting, or innovative to the horror film genre at all. Not once. Furthermore, in terms of story, they have nothing in common. You don't need to see the Invoking 1 in order to understand the Invoking 2. The stories aren't related at all. There aren't any actors in the sequel that were in the first movie; the sequel makes no mention of the story in the first movie; the stories were even set in a completely different location than the first movie; and I you wouldn't know the movies were supposed to be part of a series without the title. Regarding this sequel, Invoking 2, it's an anthology with 6 unrelated stories. None of the stories are even 20 minutes long. In fact, 2 of them are less than five minutes long. Plus, none of the stories is fleshed out, nor do they feel like they were finished. There were a lot of inconclusive and ambiguous elements in the story that made the stories unsatisfying. I kept saying things like, "Okay, what happened to that guy? How come this woman doesn't have a back story?" The stories ended abruptly and I was left scratching my head and wondering what is the point of telling a story that has no conclusion. What's worse is that many of the stories were pretty predictable. I kept saying things like, "How much do you wanna bet that dude is gonna…? How much do you wanna bet that chick is gonna…?" and it always happened. It is no fun watching a horror movie that features underdeveloped and unlikable characters, zero scares, clichés, inconclusive story elements, and predictability at almost every turn. Don't bother watching this. Even Scooby-Doo is scarier. There were a few shots of mutilated bodies. But all the kills in every one of the short films was off-screen. Plus, it sucks how this movie had attractive women I thought would get naked (some of them even disrobing) but the movie went the non-nude route with a lot of teasing but no payoff. All in all, this anthology is 73 minutes long with boring shorts that have no relation to each other whatsoever. If you ever decide to watch this garbage, I'm 100% positive you'll be saying, "I could make a better movie than this even if I spent the entire shoot smoking weed out of a Drano bottle." IMDb please allow 0 star ratings.

InDyingArms The first film was quite bad, in all honesty. Now that we have the sequel, of which I was curious about, wondering how they could possibly continue the first film. "The Invoking 2" Took many wrong turns, turning into a very low, very weak, and even very pointless film.First off, there's multiple stories. RLJ took yet another anthology turn, making it even more pointless, and now worn out than ever before. The films has around six stories, all of which were low. Each story revolves around a string events, those being paranormal activity in each one. All the stories seemed to each have constant clichés, clichés of which we've all seen billions, of trillions of times before. From the simple characters on each story, all the way to the stories themselves, they all managed to give every horror / paranormal sub-genre cliché in the book, annoying, boring, and even angering the audience. On topic with story, the unbelievably pointless factor that threw this entire film straight off track. This is supposedly the sequel to the first "Invoking" film - Don't be fooled. This film literally had nothing to do with the first film, once again, this was made up, and made into an anthology, making the title a complete set-off, as well as making it even more pointless than it already was to begin with. The film didn't have much charm, or entertaining factors at all. This entire film just seemed to be a long, dragging, and even confusing ride into complete, and utter pointlessness, succeeding in absolutely nothing. There was no tension, no resolved story, no story to even START with; once again just a bunch of clichéd, recycled stories plastered together, and called a false sequel. Aside from that, this film, either way still wasn't great, called a false sequel, or not. It just didn't cut it, not even a small fraction.In conclusion, my curiosity got the better of me. This film had literally nothing but pointlessness going for it. No tension, legit scares, good, refreshing story. Nothing. All the stories seemed clichéd, and just added to the fact that this film was flat out boring, seemingly trying to be thrilling, but in face failed, leading to disappointment. Not to mention, as said before, these shorts seeming to just be pasted together, making no sense, and leading to confusion that tended to be annoying. Overall, this film wasn't good. I honestly wouldn't recommend this. Find another good film that'll manage to make actual sense!
