A Haunted House 2 (2014) 7/10

Starring : Marlon Wayans, Jaime Pressly, Essence Atkins, Gabriel Iglesias, Cedric The Entertainer
Director : Michael Tiddes
Running Time : 87 mins

A year after his girlfriend became possessed by an evil spirit, Malcolm Johnson (Wayans) has moved on and married mother-of-two Megan (Pressly). Along with her two children, Malcolm and Megan move into their new home together only to discover that their new home might be haunted by the same sort of demons as Malcolm discovers his new step children have an imaginary friend and an ominous old box, plus there’s an evil doll that won’t leave Malcolm alone.

I actually quite like the Haunted House movies, in spite of their obvious humour. They might not be all that clever, but they try their best to focus on parodies of horror films instead of throwing in references to whatever pop star or genre movie might be popular at the time. The only thing that does get annoying is the over playing of sex and drug references, though I guess that’s what the younger Wayans are famous for in their comedy. Quick aside, what the hell has happened to Shawn Wayans? He hasn’t been in a movie since Dance Flick in 2009!
