Haunted House 2 - F

Rated R, 87 minutes

What's really shocking about unoriginal "A Haunted House 2" is how bad it is

The Wayans' brothers created the horror spoof genre with with "Scary Movie" and that film series eventually took off without them in many sequels. Marlon Wayans returned to the genre with, last year's modest hit the woefully unfunny spoof "A Haunted House" and now with its sequel, the woefully unfunny, profane "A Haunted House 2." Marlon Wayans is a genuinely talented comedian, so it's a bit of a surprise how bad it is, but if you've seen the "Scary Movie" films this follows a similar format, spoofing recent horror films such as "The Possession," "The Conjuring," "Mama" and "Insidious." Too bad the funny Essence Atkins, who stole the first film, isn't in this one hardly at all, instead replaced by Jaime Pressly of the TV show "My Name is Earl," along with comedians Gabriel Iglesias and Cedric the Entertainer, all of whom are wasted in this effort that's produced and co-written by Wayans. Terribly racist, offensive and just plain terrible for all involved, "A Haunted House 2" has a couple of laughs here and there, but they're mostly shock value ones (seeing Wayans have sex with a doll isn't exactly my idea of a good time). I don't recommend this at all.
