No wonder it flopped.
Unfortunately Warner decided that the Friday the 13th franchised doesn't get a reboot because this movie failed (as if the Ring franchise was ever interesting to start with)
3,5/10

I was almost going to catch that at the cinema. I then thought it would be best to watch Ring 2 first ( I didn't know that actually was made).
I thought it was one of the worst horror movies ever and indeed I've heard that this latest sequel was even worse than that so no chance I would waste a trip to the cinema on such a dreadful movie.
The first one was quite meh to begin with. Only the girl crawling out of the TV was scary. Other than that it was quite boring and long drawn out.
Last I saw was:
Insidious 2 (2013)
5/10
James Wan did sooo much better with The Conjuring 2.
The characters in The Conjuring sequel are far more likeable and you really feel for them being haunted. In Insidious 2 you don't really give a crap about them and thus couldn't care less what happens to them. There is no chance of getting to know the characters. The kids are constantly in bed sleeping etc. The mother is constantly walking about the hallway. Compare that to key scenes in The Conjuring 2 where you see the kids smoking/misbehaving / walking home from school / asking for biscuits etc. Why the daughter looks so much like the mother IN LAW is very strange. Insidious 2 is not a good story at all. The execution is probably fine but they should have realised this is not even as good as the first Insidious which again I thought was quite meh.
Would rather have seen them make a sequel to Oculus with Karen Gillan. It was far more intriguing and unpredictable.
