The Invoking 2 doesn't have anything to do with the equally boring The Invoking (2013). That was about a house with some dark family secrets. This one takes the anthology format, does nothing at all with it and adds some dull "paranormal events" and only in about an hour's time. It is the type of rubbish you'd find in a college film class without any art leanings. The acting is non-existent and so is the story-line. Cheap special effects don't help much either."U-Turn" - A man picks up a silent hitchhiker and finds another accident on the road."Insane" - A filmmaker with his guide in an abandoned asylum are haunted."Alone" - A druggie woman at home is bothered by the image of her double."Do Not Disturb" - A serial killer in a hotel room gets weird cards from a ghost."Natal" - A crazy woman at a cabin is driven nuts by the sound of scratching."Melissa" - A girl dials 911 to tell them about a masked man near her home.You'd probably have more fun watching the old 1970's horror anthologies like The House That Dripped Blood (1971), Tales from the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), From Beyond the Grave (1974), The Vault of Horror (1973), and Trilogy of Terror (1975).

Seems like someone was paid to write a decent review for this movie, actually, a FANTASTIC review detailing pretty much everything this movie DID NOT HAVE. No need for spoiler alert(although I'm ticking the box because I don't want to get blacklisted and I'm not going to read the guidelines...) because even if I walked you through the entire 6 "plot" lines you still would have no idea what I'm talking about. Naked schizophrenic images of beautiful women? If by "naked" the reviewer was referencing a striped down version of insanity to reveal it's bare bones then eh...maybe...but to insinuate that these women get naked...no. It doesn't happen. No guilty pleasure of seeing a naked woman in a ridiculous, OBVIOUS plea for money, movie. Pick up a copy of Goosebumps from the mid 90's, chances are it'll be scarier than this random assortment of allegedly spooky, nightmare- fuel, spine tingling short stories averaging about 8.6 minutes a piece.Seriously, get a goosebumps book.

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.

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.
