Island of the Dolls 2: Marginal improvement

PlotA documentary crew visits the Island of the Dolls, where they encounter Santana, a sinister spirit inhabiting a powerful doll, who begins to hunt them down relentlessly.CastI recognized Emily Webber from Jack & Jill 3, beyond that not so much.VerdictThe previous years Island of the Dolls was a dire attempt at horror, a messy ugly film with little going for it. A year later with a new director and writer could the follow up shock me? No, no it really couldn't.Island of the Dolls 2 goes in a dramatically different direction than the first movie. Truth be told it could be considered a remake of the first considering there is no mention of the events of the first film and certain things that happened previously seem to have been omitted altogether from a canon perspective.The kills are awful, the plot unoriginal and the cast interchangeable but when the credits rolled I didn't have my head in my hands so it at least has that going for it.Messy, amateurish and yet still manages to be better than the first.RantsThe saddest thing is that the Island of the Dolls movies (Or better yet movie singular) could have been good. Based on a haunting true story they should have run with that instead of going off on an illogical tangent. Google La Isla de las Muñecas, I'm sure it'll make for a better read than these movies make for a watch.The GoodSantana was suitably creepy Better constructed than the first filmThe BadStill ugly Dreadful kills Unoriginal mess of a plot Predictable ending.

A slight improvement if still heavily flawed sequel

Hearing of a potential show idea, the crew of a paranormal investigation show head to a remote island rumored to be covered with creepy dolls to look into the cause of mysterious incidents there only to learn the entire concept was a ruse to allow a distraught father to steal their soul for his daughter.While this might be a better entry than the original, it's not a high bar to climb. The wholesale change to the storyline offering up the idea of the crew coming to the island so that they can be eliminated and the host can be used to host the soul of his dead daughter, comes as a solid change of pace from the original. Rather than the ghostly interactions and haunted nature of the original, the change to a more grounded and human protagonist attempting occult works brings up a different tone and concept for the sequel. Even though this storyline itself might be a highly cliched and unoriginal setup, the infusion of this idea against the still creepy location and environment makes for some intriguing enough elements within here. However, there's still not a whole lot here to enjoy. Much like the original, the pacing here is an abject trainwreck with some of the most glacially-slow dialog scenes trying to spell out the history of the island, the concept of their show, or the scenes around the island trying to hook up with each other that it never manages to build any kind of energy or enthusiasm for what's happening. Given the inherently stupid nature of the plot involving the human sacrifice and the various occult means at play involving the attempt to prepare everyone for their quest, the film just plods along with much of anything happening at the expense of the genuine genre thrills due to the lack of kills or gore on display. That also accounts for the rest of the issues with the storyline here, which are just nonsensical and mean practically nothing here. There's little reasoning behind the need for the helper to be wearing the plastic doll mask that they chose, which makes that character redundant even more compared to the other assistant putting in the work to carry out the sacrificial ritual. The whole purpose of everything is so lame and lackluster that it never comes close to being reasonable enough to work as a worthwhile motivation. As well, with the comically inept confrontation scenes offering no real energy or enthusiasm, completely moronic concepts for how they're supposed to play off, and a confusing ending that doesn't explain much, there's a lot of issues to be had with this one.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

How bad?

Utter crap! Who on earth gave this the go ahead and paid for it to be made? Having said that it looked like the budget was no more than a couple of quid and a night in an Air b and b in a field, oops sorry it's an island we promise, look, every now and again the camera pans to some water so it's definitely an island. The best thing that could have happened is when the 'boat man' doubled his price to take them they all said nah let's not bother then. I did see it through to the end though, and can confirm that it's probably the worst film I've ever watched, but it just doesn't quite make it to the so bad it's good category.That said I'm hoping for island of dolls 3 just to see if it's possible to make an even worse film.
