Absolutely horrendous. I already struggle "believing" found footage films, but since the first Hell House was Ok, I gave this a chance. And I destroyed perfectly good brain cells for no reason. The actors were surely hired at a local mall and the script was written by 15 year old YouTubers. NOTHING about this made sense, from the ridiculous "Morning Show" segments (blech), the silly YouTube victims (let's follow a random creepy hitchhiker into the creepy basement! Great idea!), the addition of the cheesy psychic who was killed anticlimatically, the ending exposition word vomit from a wannabe Vincent Price, and the "twist" that made zero sense according to the plot reveal. This was a greedy attempt to cash in on the first movie and it's insulting. It had none of the character development or creepiness, so what was the point? Then they ruin the mysterious Monster by having him pontificate (poorly to boot) around a zombie laden table about his Grand Plan which was already fairly obvious to the semi-intelligent. And don't get me started on the camera- by the end when he's screaming to "pick up that camera" I wanted to break my TV. Wtf? So he wants to broadcast his Grand Plan for the world to know he's trying to send people to hell? Makes ToTaL sense. Then why not send zombie blondie to the police with the video? And on that point, he's forcing the main character to choose which of them gets to leave the house ("I've already made my choices... now it's your turn"... who writes this crap?), yet neither one makes it out alive. I wish it didn't piss me off how stupid it all is, but it does. It's not that hard to write something coherently. And if it is that hard, it's time to find a new job.
